Dirty Little Secrets

"I was only trying to help out," he whispered, the sheer venom in his quiet tone cutting deeper than any scream. He took a step forward, towering over me, his eyes flashing with a dangerous blend of hurt and irritation. "But I guess someone is very independent. Too independent to realize when they're drowning."

Summer Walker had dreams—simple, ordinary dreams, just like any other young adult.
She wanted to go to school, laugh with friends, fall in love… and someday, become a musician.
But life didn’t give her the chance.
Everything she hoped for was shattered the night her parents died—tragically, mysteriously, and without answers. No one knew what really happened. No one ever explained.
And just like that, Summer’s world changed.
Now, her only focus is survival—and taking care of her younger brother, Clyde.
Her dreams? Buried.
Her heart? Guarded.
Her future? Uncertain.
Until the day she met him- Kingsley Robert; cold, untouchable and different.
That was when everything changed again.
Now caught in a web of obsession, betrayal, and revenge, Summer must decide:
Will she finally choose love…
Or become the very darkness that destroyed her life?
