Some stories start off like a fairytale.
Some start off mediocre.
Phoebe's started with untold tragedies.
With a burning desire for freedom.
A father who hates her.
Where she’s taught neglect and abuse is love.
She will stop at nothing to escape and reach her dreams.


Taeyung was a boy raised to be a monster.
A man with a deadly obsession.
Where power through fear and blood became a second language.
Her fire, her bite, her strength.
It was a trap and he fell right in.
Consumed by a desperation to own her.
He’d burn the world for her.
Tear down empires.
Nothing will stop him.
He would have her or no one else would.

*This is a slow burn, enemies to lovers, Cinderella story with a kick ass female lead, who breaks through your typical narrative. The male lead is toxic and has a lot of growth to make but he does grow! So give him a chance, he may impress you*

"There is no woman who can satisfy me, except you. There is no woman that I want to touch me other than you. You are it for me. You are my future, and hers. I crushed hers. I'll prove it to you tomorrow. I just need you to believe me for the next 12 hours. Please. Let me in Phoebe." He pleaded me with words that touched my very soul.


He's given me every reason to believe him.


So why? Why am I still so reluctant and hesitant with him?


"Phoebe. You have seen the monster I am. You have seen me do things many have not. I would kill us both before I leave or let you go."


He was serious. I could tell. He really would murder/suicide us. I'm seriously in too deep.


Even if he lied and I tried to leave, he'd never let go. He'd find me wherever I go. There's no escaping him.


I won't be able to hide the truth much longer.
