Into Darkness We Fall

by Jodie King

“Good luck with that, Charley.”

Good Luck Charlie

"Through your green eyes, I can see a beautiful mess of chaos. I find it captivating how you sit comfortably in the shadowy corners of your mind, despite your fear of darkness. Every fucking day, you dance with the gloom, unknowingly loving the very thing you despise."

Despite his maturity and dominance, he certainly lives up to his name; he is Chaos. His entire persona is chaotic.

“I don't do the whole explaining myself shit. I am who the fuck I am. No apologies.” I lift my head and raise up onto my elbow. “So, why are you explaining yourself to me?” I notice his eyes open, his mind racing as he mulls over my question before he finally looks at me. “I don't fucking know.”

“Was Swan there?”

So Chaos and Reign are her stalkers... shocker.

“Bro, we can't do this anymore; he knows and now he is hurting her.”

So its not them doing it? Rival possibly, or Choas' dad?

“We need to put a stop to this. We need to look after her. He's gotta die before he ever gets his nasty fucking hands on her.” Maddox will fucking destroy Charley;

Rival gang, hmmm

“Was that you disobeying me, boy?” Reign calmly lays his palms down on the table in front of him and stares at his father from afar. “That is the thing, pa. I am not a fucking boy anymore.”

That's hot af

“Nothing good will come out of this, you stupid, vengeful old fucks. To get to her, you will have to get through me. Make your fucking choice.”

“I don’t want you to be Chaos and I don’t want Chaos to be you. I just want to know; it is that simple. It doesn’t have to be poetic; it doesn’t have to be beautiful; it just has to be you.”

“I want to know; I deserve to know, Reign. You are a fully grown man; you should know how you feel so fucking tell me.”

“What do you want me to fucking say? That you are the only girl I have ever felt anything for? That you drive me possessively insane, yet I fucking love it? That you are this little sweet, innocent chick but an absolute slut for my dick and I dig it? That your warmth melts away the coldness in my heart whenever you are near?” His aggressive tone causes my eyes to widen, and he brings his face close to mine before biting on his words against my lips. “Well, that’s exactly how I fucking feel.”

“Not you... Please don’t say it’s you. You wouldn’t—” I notice his Adam's apple bob in his throat as he takes a deep swallow, but his eyes give nothing away. “FUCKING TELL ME!”

The whiplash this book has given me. Not the good kind either, is it not them or is it?

“It’s not a birthmark, Char; it’s a gunshot wound that you suffered when you were four years old.”

“But it was more to spite Maddox.” My eyes snap to Chaos as soon as he speaks the name. “Who the hell is that?” “It’s who you were promised to be with, Charley. It’s who you are supposed to marry. That is what the bloodline says.”

So Maddox stalks her bc they were intended for each other? Grow up

I have the means to do it; all I need to do is reach Nana's abandoned house and retrieve the huge check she left me in her safe.

I hope she didnt write the date on that check

You are Swan Morozov, the true heir and queen of the Bratva, not Charley Barker.

He also gets onto the bed beside me and my lips twitch while I gaze forward, knowing they never do this.

They were literally cuddling with her before she got taken. I want to DNF this trash book so bad

“And if I stayed, how would it work when I love you both? I cannot exactly marry you both. I can’t have children with you both.” Reign’s eyes soften when I say the words and I don’t even know why I just told them I love them. They don’t deserve to hear it from me right now, but it’s only the truth. I guess I am finally finding my voice after all. “You would have to choose Charley.” My brows pinch, my gaze frantically darting between them both. “What? I can’t do that. It’s not poss—” “I’m sorry, beautiful, but that’s the only way it can work.”

That's crazy to tell her she HAS to choose after her saying she loved them both. And while they are content to share her now, they don't want to after what she's been through??

When Chaos says that my teary eyes linger on him before they stare into Reigns, shock and sadness overcoming me. I could never choose between them.

I will be so pissed if she chooses Chaos over Reign. She's obviously way more comfortable with him and Chaos has YET to even tell her his real name.

“But no pressure, Char; I just thought it would be good for you to get some fresh air.”

And yet, he pressured her to go into a haunted house where she got stabbed and threatened by her stalker...

“You love me?” His gaze lands on my mouth when I say the words before a small grin creeps across his lips and then his eyes flick back to mine. “You bet I fucking love you.”

YOU DONT EVEN KNOW HIS REAL NAME

“Don’t ever make a fucking habit out of it, it’s not for everyone and drugs can ruin lives.”

It's weed omfg
