Kindle Notes & Highlights
To all those who made my life miserable…I wouldn’t be so forgiving. I would fight to be free not just from this prison but from the rules and thoughts of others. I would be me unapologetically.
Did God pity my miserable life, or had he messed up somewhere and wanted to rectify that shit?
Did he think I would listen and apologise, complying quietly like the girl of yesterday? Well, unfortunately for him, she's no longer here and he's stuck with me. They all are.
“Sometimes freedom means being the bad guy. Sometimes, you gotta embrace the darkness they create in you and make it your own. Don’t be consumed by the shit they throw at you or inflict. Instead, let the dark little soul in you break free and make ‘em all bleed.”
“Words can hurt, wounds can fester, but even the most broken of bones can heal again, Red.”
“Just live the way you want, Red. Whether you're the good guy or the bad guy in someone else's story, everyone becomes a villain at some point. It's only a difference in perspective.”
“Always give more than you get, Red. If they knock you down once, get back up and bury them.” He gives me a wicked smirk, pulling himself up and brushing against me as he passes. “I might even lend a hand. I enjoy a good bloodbath from time to time.” He passes Mr. Finch, whose eyes widen as his body shakes. “I hear it's good for the skin,”
“Let them look and talk but take no shit. Ever.”
“Don’t ever let them see you stumble. There's strength in a smile. Even if it's forced.” His gaze meets mine, and whatever he sees has his expression softening. “You seem like a fighter anyway, little sea star.”
“I knew you had a fighter's spirit, little sea star, but I didn’t know you ran toward the trouble.”
My only true haven and home in this world was him. The only person I could trust, the only one I could truly be at ease with… My world, my ally, my strength…my mate.
Red was one of us now, and no one gets to hurt her. She was mine, ours, and she deserved the world. Every blade, every diamond, and every chocolate muffin.
My woman wouldn’t just eat crumbs, she would have the whole fucking cake and everyone else’s too. If I had to threaten, rob, and maim, I would.
“Shut the fuck up,” Annex growls before his lips reach my ear. “Make sure you hit the right artery, babe. If you get the wrong one, your sexy dress will get blood all over it…” His gaze slides down my dress, a heated look taking
I’ll always follow you, no matter what.” He pulls back, his eyes narrowing, “Lead the way…but never leave me behind again.”
“It's because…you're everything that colour stands for…and more. Dangerous. Fearless…And a temptation…I shouldn’t touch or want…but can’t help coming back to…You’re the salvation I never knew I needed. My Red.”
