The night I was bullied and left to drown in a bathtub, Lucas pulled me from the edge of death.

I had believed no one could ever love me—except maybe Kayla, my best and only friend. The world had made sure I knew my place: an unwanted, overweight girl, unworthy of affection, let alone passion.

But then there was Lucas.

Godlike in his beauty, and he didn't just save my life—he gave me everything I’d ever ached for. A lavish home. Organic meals prepared just for me. The kind of care I’d only ever fantasized about.

So what if he isn’t human?
So what if his love comes with secrets?

I stopped caring the moment his hands first brushed the water from my lips.

The Plus - size Bride of Dr. Vampire

I didn’t remember grabbing the car keys, or even opening the door to the garage. It all felt like my body moved before I gave it permission—maybe a leftover habit from being controlled.


But I was driving now. On my own. Windows down, wind catching strands of my hair, and nothing ahead of me but an empty road and the chance to breathe.


The silence inside the car was louder than the chaos I’d just left behind. I didn’t turn on the radio. I didn’t need noise. I needed space—physical, emotional, everything. For weeks, maybe longer, I hadn’t really been here. Not fully. My mind had been… someone else’s guest. My body, a hotel room for a queen who never asked before checking in.


I should’ve felt something—anger, heartbreak, betrayal. But instead, there was this strange numbness in my chest. Like the part of me that wanted to be wanted had cracked open and realized how shallow all of it was.
