Breaking Hailey

CARTER
Hailey Scarlett Vaughn was meant to be a pawn in my revenge plan.

I was supposed to break her. Use her. Discard her.

But the moment I looked into her wide eyes, I knew I’d rather ruin her instead.

She’s soft where I’m sharp, innocent where I’m cruel.

And when she trembles beneath me, I know she’s caught in my web. Catching feelings as fast as I am.

She can’t see the lies. Doesn’t realize that I’m trying to retrieve what’s locked inside her pretty little head… the key to my father’s freedom.

But as her memories resurface, I realize I’m not the only monster in this story.

HAILEY
I came to Lakeside to heal, but the moment I stumbled into him, I knew peace wasn’t an option.

He’s is a storm. Dark, dominant, utterly relentless. He never asks—he takes what he wants.

And right now? He wants me.

He owns me. Takes my body, mind, and soul. Breaks me apart and puts me back together, one filthy whispered promise at a time.

But soon, my lost memories trickle back, and it’s obvious I’m not at Lakeside to heal—I’m here to hide.

Waking up without memories is terrifying but remembering the time I lost is infinitely worse.
