Marcus Kay is a kidnapper. A rapist. He knows it, and the girl he swears he's in love with surely knows it, as she raises the twins she was forced to conceive. Twins who look very similar to their father.
But after five years of his ten year sentence, he's given the opportunity to get out early on good behaviour. But in order to leave, he has to convince a psychologist that he is mentally stable and can go out and function in society, without a screw up like before.
This is Marcus trying to convince the doctor, who he considers a friend, that he can leave to go and find his two children, who are growing up in England with his father. To go back to Kennedy, the girl he would rather die than live without.
KEEP IN MIND
Please that this is a sort of sequel for my completed book that i am currently re-writing and publishing. Which can be found on my page, but is not necessary to read. Also, this book is not for everyone, as it may at times contain material that can include - but are not limited to - rape and abuse. There will not be warnings to interrupt the flow of the book, you have been warned here.
Before you ask about the connection between my name and the doctor's name, yes, i inserted myself as the doctor, because this story is an internal debate I'm having about whether i should let him go to find his kids, because i know that's what readers typically want, or to lock him up longer. He does get out, the question is... when. So if you don't like the author inserting themselves into the story, its only in the beginning and end, and I'm barely acting like myself. It's just there to represent my thoughts and internal dilemma.

WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION
Can she be herself in a one-size-fits-all world?
Lori Palmer is the new girl at Bay Water High, where students prize glossy hair, beach bodies, and school spirit above all else. She misses her old school―where her talent as an artist carried more weight than she does―and longs for her old family life, before her parents got divorced and her mom reinvented herself.
So Lori decides that the only way to survive the rest of the year is to blend into the background, but her plans go awry when she discovers that the most popular (and hottest) guy at Bay Water High, Jake, is a volunteer at her brother's school. When her brother befriends Jake's sister, Lori is suddenly thrust into his unfamiliar and exhilarating world of water polo, parties, and stargazing.
But with her relationship with her mother deteriorating, old anxieties resurface and Lori finds a new artistic release that unknowingly ignites a powerful movement. When the authorities start asking questions, Lori realizes that finding her voice might have gotten her into a world of trouble...but sometimes standing up for what you believe in is as important as standing up for yourself.
