After one soul-crushing breakup, Summer Peterson—quirky, invisible, heartbroken—swore she’d never fall again. But secrets don’t care about promises. Especially not the kind hiding in her best friend’s older brother. Hayden is everything she shouldn’t want. Dangerous. Magnetic. Off-limits. But one forbidden kiss was all it took to unravel her. Now every stolen moment pulls her deeper—into a twisted affair of obsession, lies, and betrayal. Hayden doesn’t just touch. He marks. He owns. And he’s hiding a secret that could destroy them both. Someone is watching. Someone who wants her. And someone who will do anything to tear them apart. Loving him might ruin her. Leaving him might kill her. How do you run from the boy who’d burn the world to keep you? And how far will she go for a love that was never meant to save her? ⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING – MATURE CONTENT AHEAD This story doesn’t hold back.

☆☆SUMMER’S POV☆☆There was just silence, and then the call would end. I’d caught myself staring at his photos and watching videos of him more times than I could count. But I never reached out. I tried to, but I was too afraid.By the time a year and a few months had slipped by, things were back to normal. It had been two years since I was rescued from Jake. Today was my last therapy session. I was going to return to school again. I was really excited about it.“Hi. My name is Summer Peterson. I’m 20 years old. I live in Dallas with my amazing dad and my cute little brother, who, I’m afraid, isn’t so little anymore. I’m grateful to be surrounded by loved ones. I used to think there was nothing special about me. But over the years, I realized that I was special. I don’t need validation. I don’t need anyone to make me feel special because I was made special. We all are. My dad told me that what people say about me is an opinion I’m allowed to receive or toss aside. Their words don't defi

☆☆SUMMER’S POV☆☆(Six months later)“Did you ever see the cruelty behind his eyes?” the prosecutor asked.I was the last witness called to the stand. My gaze lifted, meeting Jake’s across the room for the first time. His eyes were hollow. They were dark and haunted. A cold shiver ran down my spine, but I held his gaze firmly. Memories of my best friend flashed through my mind. But I didn't see him in that room. I only saw someone who looked just like him. It was a monster hiding behind his face, wearing his skin.“At first,” I answered softly. “No. He was my best friend. My ride or die. Best friends till we die. But when I saw what he was capable of, I saw the man who… who ruined lives and ruined me.”Grief flickered across Jake’s face. I saw tears stream down his cheeks. The judge leaned forward. “Mr. Jacob, do you have anything to say before sentencing?”Jake stood. His eyes never left mine. “I’d do it again. For you.”A gasp erupted in the courtroom. My heart pounded. I looked aw

☆☆SUMMER'S POV☆☆ I quietly left the hallway, dragging myself upstairs, back into my room. Hayden came to see me afterward. “Hey, nugget.” I forced a thin smile. “I came to check up on you. Since Agnes is leaving for school very soon, you want me around more?” I didn't respond. I just stared. He waited for an answer. I couldn't say a word. A short laugh escaped his mouth. He sat beside me, nervous. “Umm, I don't know how you’re feeling, but I want you to know one thing; you’re never alone. You have your dad, Keith, your relatives, and you’ll always have me. Always. Whatever you want, whatever you need, you let me know. Okay?” I nodded once, tears filling my eyes. He caught a tear that slipped. “I love you, Summer Peterson.” “I love you, Hayden Dylan.” He embraced me like it was the last time he’d ever see me again. Then he kissed my forehead. He didn't tell me what he had discussed with my dad. He just leaned back, his piercing blue eyes taking in every inch of me,

☆☆SUMMER'S POV☆☆(Flashback—Before Hayden went out to meet Jake)I pulled my blouse over my shoulders too fast and hissed when the fabric scraped my wrists. They stung. The pain was there as proof that I’d let Hayden hold me down. In truth, I begged him to. Even though I pretended I hadn’t wanted a

♤♤JAKE'S POV♤♤I held the phone to my ear, pacing the edge of the rooftop private swimming pool. The entire city spilled out below in a glittering mess of light and motion. My heart spiraled with rage.“I’m serious, Dad. There’s no point shoving him into Alderidge like it’s a prison. Jail is where
