Introduction

I died once trying to be a hero.

It was after high school graduation, at Brad Thompson' s notorious "End of the World Bash" lake party.

I warned everyone about the spiked punch and Brad's predatory nature, but my girlfriend Tiffany scoffed, and my childhood friend Sarah, blinded by her crush on Brad, turned away.

They went, everyone went, except me.

Later, Sarah blamed me for ruining her shot with Brad; one rainy Tuesday, she found me and ended my first life with a knife.

Then, I woke up, gasping, back in my high school bedroom, reliving the day Brad would announce his party.

I wasn't dead.

But then I saw Sarah in the hallway.

She remembered everything too.

And her already dangerous obsession with Brad had intensified, chillingly so.

"This time, I' m going to be by Brad' s side. No matter what," she whispered, a promise that sent shivers down my spine.

I tried to avert disaster, to warn everyone away from that party, but Tiffany broke up with me for being a 'buzzkill.'

Brad' s jock friends cornered me, forcing me to attend.

I desperately tried to record Brad admitting his punch was spiked, but they caught me.

Brad had his goons lock me in the boathouse, just before the cops raided.

But instead of being safe, it was worse.

Sarah pointed at me, claiming, "He' s the one who brought the spiked punch!"

Tiffany and Brad quickly corroborated her lie.

I was arrested, charged with felony drug distribution, for something I had fought to prevent.

My childhood friend, now my accuser, was willing to destroy my life to preserve her twisted fantasy with Brad.

Her obsession was a cancer, eating away at her humanity, and I was caught directly in its malignant path.

Was this second chance just another slow, agonizing death, orchestrated by the very person who ended my first?

My confiscated phone might hold hidden fragments of truth.

Could those damaged recordings be my only proof, my sole hope to prove my innocence and change a grim fate once more?

Trigger/Content Warning: This story contains mature themes and explicit content intended for adult audiences(18+). Reader discretion is advised. It includes elements such as BDSM dynamics, explicit sexual content, toxic family relationships, occasional violence and strong language. This is not a fluffy romance. It is intense, raw and messy, and explores the darker side of desire. ***** "Take off your dress, Meadow." "Why?" "Because your ex is watching," he said, leaning back into his seat. "And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.
