She was fifteen when I tore her out of her safe little world. I stole her childhood. Her dreams. For five years, she belonged to me only.
I loved her, adored her, and couldn’t stop taking pleasure in her. Then, something happened. My beautiful butterfly broke free of her chains… and I got in prison.
But I never blamed her for running away from me. Because I loved her; because I still love her. With a dark, obsessive intensity.
Grace is trying to rebuild her life from its shattered pieces. To survive in this numbness, because reality broke her even worse than I ever could.
She is hiding… but I am much closer to her than she thinks. Waiting for the right moment to take her back.
I don’t want you to see me as a hero. I don’t want you to see her as a victim, either.
All I want is for you to understand… that sometimes there is something beautiful buried within the deepest darkness. Something distorted, messed up, yet honest. Just like the two of us.
