Clarissa
What if love wasn't about leaving, but about staying – no matter the cost?
What if the person you adored carried dark, dangerous secrets, but instead of running, you found yourself drawn in even deeper?
They say love makes you blind. But what if it makes you see everything – every dark secret, every twisted deed – and you choose to stay anyway?
I've loved Nathan for as long as I can remember. At first, I thought it was because he chose Lyla over me. But it wasn't jealousy that kept me joined to the hip with him—it was the thrill, the fascination that grew each time I uncovered a part of him no one else saw.
I didn't fall in love with Nathan because he was perfect – he's far from that. I fell in love with him because I was the only one who saw his imperfections. Each time fate made me witness his darkest moments, each terrible secret I discovered, it only pulled me deeper under his spell.
