They say I’m just like my mother – a scandal waiting to happen.
Every day at college is hell, with whispers trailing my shadow.
But the worst is Eli Young – my childhood friend turned cruel tormentor.
He’s Mr. Popular, the golden boy with bruises he thinks no one sees.
When he kisses me in the library, I know it’s dangerous.
When he touches me, I forget why I should hate him.
They say good girls don’t fall for their bullies.
But they never tell you what happens when your bully falls for you too.
Now I’m carrying his secret, and it’s growing inside me.
Will this be our downfall, or our salvation?
