Tyrant's Secret Baby
The truth that I was not my parents’ real child, and Steven’s betrayal, hit me all at once.
I walked aimlessly along the crowded sidewalk, letting my body bump into strangers passing by. Without realizing it, my steps stopped in front of a dark glass door with a flickering neon sign.
Xander Rosemary.
The scent of tobacco and alcohol wafting from inside seemed to call out to me, promising a world where pain could be traded for numbness. I had never drunk alcohol before, but tonight, I just wanted to stop being Meggie. I wanted to stop feeling my own heartbeat.
