Sometimes in life, things aren’t what you think they are. Most believe they are free. I wasn’t. He wasn’t. I think we secretly knew this as well. However, we were both too stubborn to admit anything…. To most, we couldn’t be more different from one another. For us, it was different. We both knew how secretly alike we were, and that would be the end for us both. 

I had to get out. Pa’ and myself were in danger. All cuz’ of who I am and what I did. I messed everything up. Non, all we needed was a new start. Or that’s what Pa’ says to me. I doan believe it. I fucked up. I always would. 

I am no different than he is. I hide it better than him. To everyone I am perfect. There is not a single flaw one could point out for me.   It is only when I am alone that my mind can’t block out the memories. All of the pain and tragedy floods in. Block it out Aria! Can you block out all of their deaths as well? My mind can be dangerous, but I can be as well. 

Two people could not be more different, but also could not be more secretly alike. Derek is a man who fled from his home, desperate to escape his horrid past. A life full of despair, pain, and tragedy. His father wanted nothing more than to give his son a life that he deserved, but Derek just will not agree. He is out to find out who he is, truly. 

Aria is the girl everyone wants to be. She is rich, lives in a huge house, and the entire town adores her and her mother. Without knowing what the future holds, will money cover Aria's dark and twisted path? Could Derek and Aria help to mend each other? Or will their past consume them for good? When Aria's mother throws a party and invites the town, will this be the start of a romance? Or a tragedy?

NEFARIOUS: A GANG ROMANCE

Before I could get out a word, she left me in the car alone. I only knew that by the sound of the car door being shut in my ear. I shook my head and got out of the car as well. She was crouched down on her side of the car and motioned for me to come over. My eyes narrowed as I picked up on her body language. 


I mimicked hers as I crouched down as I followed and crouched with her. She motioned for me to be quiet and pointed over to a nearby car. I shook my head not following. 


 The fille rolled her eyes and pointed to under the car. When I looked over and back at her I nodded. A pair of feet. She started to get up to go over there but I stopped her and shook my head in anger. She leaned in very close to me.
