Chapter 1

DEAREST GENTLE READERS,

Lovelies, as the blurb implies, this is a dark romance book which explores complex themes, might cause conflicting emotions, and could tend to rattle your moral values. Trust me when I say, it will get intense as you read on, but if it's something you can't handle-take a deep breath, splash a cup of cold water on your face, sleep and step away for a while when it becomes too overwhelming... then return and please, pick up from where you left off.

It's a forbidden romance trope, so it's definitely going to test you at intervals. You might read things that would make you want to slap the FL or throw the ML into a ditch-yes, it's that triggering. But, I would prefer it if you read this book with an open mind, knowing that there's a lot to come, knowing that it's called dark romance for a reason.

Please, have this in mind before you drop a vile comment. Remember, your mental health and beliefs is of utmost concern and in the same way the characters are humans too, life can be a little tough and rough along the way because we're not all that perfect, so kindly, cut them some slacks while reading.

Thank you ❣.

Other trigger warnings include:

•Stalking, breaking and entering, surveillance.

•Graphic Violence and death

•Mentions of human trafficking (there are no first person POVs of any trafficking victims, but you'll get a hint of the trauma it leaves behind. Please, if you know someone who is a victim of human trafficking, or you get a hint of any suspicious activity related to this, please contact agencies responsible for protecting citizens and victims from these traffickers. Let's all come together to make the world a better and safe place.)

•Explicit sexual scenes.

•Kidnapping and blackmail.

•Cheating (not between main characters)

•A male lead who is basically a red flag all the way to his bones.

Please, proceed with caution and an open mind.

Point of Views- POVs

••~••~••~••

This book is written in dual point of view. Regardless, you might stay with a character for several chapters if it helps potray emotions and actions best.

Nevertheless, I will try my best to blend the potraiture of both POVs together, to help you get a taste of each character equally.

••~••~•••~••

UPDATE SCHEDULE

••~••~•••~••

I promise you at least one to three chapters per day, regardless of the fact that I might skip a day or two here and there. So please, engage with patience as life can get really tough at times. I'm a law student who is trying to juggle writing and academics, please bear with me.

DEDICATION

••~•••~•••~••

To all my girlies who love their fictional men dangerous, lurking in the shadows and are colourblind to those walking red flags-remember to run when they're real.

AUTHOR'S PLEA.

•••~••~••~••

Dearies, it would mean so much to me if you can drop in-chapter comments, vote, support and drop 5-star rating reviews in the review section. Trust me, after a long day at school and the struggle to keep up with daily updates, seeing them serves as an encouragement to me to keep going, it'll be your voice as a reader to me... to tell me that I'm doing something right.

Your feedback matters, so please, don't be a silent reader. I'll love to hear your thoughts on every single chapter and the book overall.

Xoxo,

Betty Kris.
