I was born with laughter in my veins and sunlight in my smile until he found me.

I never knew my laughter had caught the eye of a golden boy with a beast lurking beneath his charm. I thought I was invisible to him, just another girl.

But I was wrong.

He tore into my life, bound me to him, and made me betray the parents I loved. Then he broke me, shattering me piece by piece. His once-magnetic gaze now burns with vengeance. His touch feels like venom.

I don’t know when he turned into this monster—or when my love for him became my greatest regret. All I want now is to escape… or to let it all end with the ghost of the girl I used to be.
