Intended for 18+ Strong language and sexual situations This is a standalone If I could describe my world in a color, it would be black. My heart is black. My mind is black. Everything is black. I let darkness take over when I was sixteen. That’s when my world fell apart. That’s when I learned Tucker Stavros took my life away from me. I’ve spent years allowing the darkness to comfort me; letting it take my emotions and box them up. Why do I need emotions anyway? They only make me weak. I need to be strong for what needs to be done. What needs to be done, you ask? That’s simple. Destroy Tucker. Bring him to his knees. Show him how it feels to lose everything. Well, that was the plan, until Cammie Richards walked into my life. Now there are gray areas — slight color bleeding through the black. What happens when she looks beneath my darkness and sees the monster lurking there? Will she run away or try to save me? How do I tell her I can’t be saved?
