LOGINSilence, then his anger cracked… just slightly. “What do you mean?

I wanted her, but not just her body. It was the way she laughed when she forgot to guard herself, the way she argued like she needed to win and the way she looked at me like she saw everything that I didn’t want anyone else to see. Somewhere between all the chaos and revenge… I had fallen for her.
KYEI didn’t expect her words to hit like a blade to the ribs… it was clean, cold and precise. “You almost killed my dad.”Ava had walked away before I could even breathe again, before I could tell her that I knew, that I regretted it and that I wished to God, to fate, to anything that I could take
