Writing Death Note

My sister pulled a knife during a robbery attempt, and we got into a brutal fight. My mom, an auxiliary police officer, arrived at the scene but totally ignored my injury. As I lay in a pool of blood, begging for help, she just cradled my sister and yelled at me, "You're so desperate for attention that you'd hurt your sister? How did I raise a heartless monster like you?" She branded me as the aggressor, ignored my pleas, and rushed my sister, who had mere scratches, to the hospital. I was left alone to die miserably in that deserted alley. When the news of my death arrived, my mother dismissed it as another one of my lies, pointing at my body and demanding I get up to apologize to my sister.

Yet when he later saw my corpse—bloated and decomposing in the seawater—he went insane.

Eine brennend heiße Tabu-Geschichte über verbotene Begegnungen. In der Stille ihres gemeinsamen Zuhauses verschwimmt die Grenze zwischen Stiefvater und Stieftochter zu einem rohen, süchtig machenden Hunger. Es beginnt mit einem nächtlichen Flüstern an ihrer Tür. Es endet damit, dass sie sich jedem seiner Befehle ergibt und um eine Berührung bettelt, von der sie weiß, dass sie sie nicht wollen sollte. Gestohlene Blicke am Tag. Gedämpftes Stöhnen in der Nacht. Sie wissen, dass es falsch ist. Sie wissen, dass sie mit dem Feuer spielen. Aber wenn er sie mit diesem besitzergreifenden, dunklen Blick ansieht, spielen die Konsequenzen keine Rolle mehr. Pure, rücksichtslose Lust – keine Romantik, keine Erlösung. Nur Hitze, Kontrolle, Hingabe und der köstliche Schmerz, sich das zu nehmen, was verboten ist. Intensiv und kompromisslos.

Eine Braut wird in ein Königreich geschickt, das nicht existieren sollte. Ophelia wurde Sicherheit versprochen, doch in dem Moment, in dem sie die Welt ihres Ehemannes betritt, erkennt sie, dass etwas furchtbar falsch ist — niemand atmet, niemand lächelt, und das Schloss beobachtet sie wie eine Beute. Dann beginnen die Träume. Träume, in denen sie gejagt wird … und wenn sie aufwacht, sind die Wunden real. Weit entfernt spürt Tristan ihren Schmerz durch eine Verbindung, die sich langsam in ein Todesurteil verwandelt — und als er sich auf den Weg macht, sie zu retten, wird er als Verräter gebrandmarkt und durch ganze Königreiche gejagt. Doch die Wahrheit ist weitaus schlimmer, als sie beide es sich je hätten vorstellen können. Ophelia war nie dazu bestimmt, eine Braut zu sein. Sie war dazu bestimmt, ein Opfer zu sein. Und je näher Tristan daran kommt, sie zu retten, desto näher kommt sie dem, was die Welt fürchten sollte.
