I was never innocent.
Even as a child, I learned that life shows no mercy.
That beauty is a curse.
And that every smile comes with a price.
I’ve done things that will haunt me forever.
I sold myself to survive.
Lied to keep from breaking.
And when I thought I couldn’t fall any lower, he appeared.
The man with honey-colored eyes—
the one who was supposed to kill me.
Instead, he let me live.
Since that moment, I’ve been trapped between the urge to run and the temptation to move closer to him.
He is darkness, and yet in his shadow, I feel safe.
He says I owe him something.
But what if it’s already my heart?
