Assistant to the Villain (Assistant to the Villain, #1)

by Hannah Nicole Maehrer

“Normal” was for those who didn’t have the ability to stretch their minds past the unreachable end.

Granted, she didn’t want to become evil, but when you spend most of your life trying to see the sun, you begin to wish for rain.

“I like anticipating the good—that way it’s easier to see it…even when the bad happens.”

Worry not, hasibsi. You could fix a broken world with just your smile.

It was a hard lesson to learn that sometimes it was better to remain lonely than to waste companionship and energy on someone undeserving.

“If life was built on regrets, we’d have monuments the size of giants.”

“A weak man pushes blame away from himself like a disease, to poison and spread over the rest of the unsuspecting world.”

When it comes to the thing one loves most,

it is always better to be trapped together than free and apart.

Adulthood should be illegal.

I feel like my life keeps happening to me, rather than me living it.”

But he was wrong. She wasn’t light; she was color. Every single one, dancing otherworldly and bright over his unworthy eyes. She was the explosion of the vivid gleams and glows of the world around him, like a constant rainbow, shining not after the rain but during. She was everything he never deserved but longed for anyway.

She didn’t realize everything he was already belonged to her.
