THE LOVE I COULDN'T SEE.
Romance Her silky hair was a mess. Her makeup, ruined. Her dress wrinkled like she slept on it. She was there, but her mind, elsewhere. Her eyes went to me. Her lips curled into a lazy smile. In every step she gave, my heart sank thinking she would fall.
"What happened to you? Are you okay?" I rushed towards her.
Her face twisted with disgust. "Oh, perfect Bella. The golden girl. Always correct. Always the best."
"What..."
"Perfect Bella. Has the best grades. She doesn't have to fight to get into college, colleges fight over her."
"Emma, you are drunk."
"Perfect Bella doesn't drink. She is as pure as water. Saint Bella." Her eyes glinted. "Perfect Bella doesn't sleep with her best friend's husband." My body froze as a wave of chill ran through my spine.
"What... what are you talking about?"
She leaned in, her breath thick with alcohol, "Where do you think Marcus is? Why do you think I can barely walk straight? Is it hard to believe he took me and not you to that bad that was supposed to be yours?" My heart clenched. Tears started forming in my eyes. It didn't take long till they gave up to gravity. He... he didn't. We'd promised this morning. He couldn't.
"He wouldn't."
*****
It's been a year, but the scars are still there. My past echoing in my head reminding me of everything that happened since that day.
Every time I open my eyes in the morning to see... nothing.
"You only get hurt by the ones you love the most."
"You only get betrayed by the ones you trust the most."
What happens when these two misbeliefs collide?

I hope I wrote this book good enough to make you feel it.

When a car accident left Brianna in a vegetative state, she found herself able to listen to everything around her, though unable to respond. Bitterly, she realized her parents didn't care for her; they visited just once.
A month later, Cassie visited, disconnecting the ventilator before leaning in to whisper coldly, "Goodbye, my dear sister. You shouldn't have come back. You are meant for that despicable, wretched family."
Somehow, fate granted Brianna a second chance. Reborn and fueled by rage, she vowed to make everyone who had wronged her pay dearly.
This time, she would seize the life that had been stolen from her. The Genius Baby: Bring Mommy And Daddy Together

feesa "We're friends," I said, voice barely steady.
Aaron's lips curled, slow and cruel. "No, we're not."
"Friendship's too pure for this."
His hand slid to my waist, hot and claiming as he yanked me flush against him.
"Do friends kiss like this?"
He kissed me. Hard. Possessive.
"Or grab each other like this?"
A squeeze to my ass. A gasp.
"Or think filthy little thoughts?"
His breath burned against my ear. "Touch themselves to it?"
My cheeks flamed. My body betrayed me.
"Stop lying, Venus."
His voice was a growl.
"I feel it. Every time I'm near you."
I whispered, "But you don't even like me."
His smile was pure sin.
"I don't have to like you to fuck you."
Then the offer:
"Let's get it out of our system. No lies. No strings. Just truth."
He grabbed my chin, eyes lit with hunger.
"Say the word, princess."
A whisper against my lips-
"I'll ruin you."
And God help me...
I wanted him to.
