Kindle Notes & Highlights
To all the fighters, It’s easy to lie down, but it takes courage to step up and fight.
If you’re looking for a hero, Aiden is NOT it. If you, however, have been itching for a villain, then by all means, welcome to Aiden King’s world
The villain isn’t supposed to be king.
Everything about Aiden King is black. Black mind. Black heart. Black soul.
I made the irrevocable mistake of provoking the king on his throne. The devil in his hell. And now, I’ll pay the price.
Being hated by Aiden King is dangerous. But being wanted by him is lethal.
But the thing about ‘maybes’? They’re useless.
“Show them what you got, Elsie!” She honks.
“But I like my Elsie.” She pouts
“I wouldn’t miss my Elsie’s first day in this huge effing place for the world.” She motions around. “Freaking Royal Elite School! Can you believe it?”
“Gah, I’m being so sappy on my baby’s first day at school.”
“Don't forget your meds and no junk food. Go get them, hon.”
“What’s your name?”
“Kimberly. You?”
“Elsa — and in my defence, I was born way before the Disn...

“Xander Knight and he’s trouble,” she blurts fast as if her butt is on fire. “I like you, Elsa, and I mean it when I say, stay away.”
meet the smokiest, most chilling eyes I’ve ever seen.
His uniform is missing the tie and he looks ruggedly handsome. Inky black hair runs long and slick in the middle, but it’s buzzed on the sides. His nose holds an aristocratic vibe although it appears a bit crooked like it was hurt before. That little imperfection adds more mystery and intrigue to him.
He stares at me with a slightly tilted head and a silent, manic interest as if he’s meeting an old friend.
“King,” she mumbles under her breath. “Aiden freaking King.”
Heir of King Enterprises and of this damn school. His and the others’ parents own this place and you don’t want shit with them.”
“Isn’t it Berly?” Xander asks Kimberly in a detached tone before his lips curve into a cruel smirk. “You look even nerdier this year.”
A strong hand wraps around my throat and pushes me against the wall. My back hits the brick and pain shoots down my spine and tightens the pit of my stomach.
“I will destroy you.”
Those words seal my fate.
The Mini Cooper swerves in the school’s car park so hard, the tires screech in protest. I gasp. “Kim!”
“Only to you, Ellie.” She rolls her eyes. “And my dad, but you guys don’t count.”
“Hey,” I scowl. “Rude.”
Apparently, I have an epic resting bitch face. Thus the nickname.
“If we die,” I joke. “I want to go in full Shakesperian mode. Tragedy.”
Xander Knight. Cole Nash. Ronan Astor. Aiden King.
His easy-going smile falls, the dimples disappear, and his demeanour changes. Kim’s new appearance shocked him.
“Once a nobody, always a nobody, Kimberly.” He snarls her name.
Everyone except for me and the four horsemen. My gaze snaps to Aiden. He’s twirling the ball on a finger, but he’s not watching the scene.
He’s so close that I can make out that small beauty mole at the corner of his right eye.
“You had to screw up.”
My surgery scar.
And now, Aiden is staring at it. No. He’s not only staring. He’s devouring it with his gaze as if it’s some sort of wonder.
the diagonal scar at the top of my left breast. Ugly. Long. Faded.
“You don't give a fuck about anyone. Always walking around here with that head of yours somewhere above and beyond like no one here deserves your time.”
“Tell me, Frozen. What pushes your buttons? What are you afraid of, hmm?”
Something shines in his eyes. People’s eyes shine with excitement and happiness. Aiden’s spark with unhinged sadism.
“Oh, no. That was before. You had your chance. Now, I’ve changed my mind.”
Xander presses on my wrists harder as if communicating something. What, I don’t know.
I throw over my shoulder at Xander who’s… playing on his phone? Seriously?
“Damn, Frozen. You’re truly fucked now.” Xander whistles. “You really shouldn’t have threatened him.”
His fingers snake into my bra and circle a nipple. I thought it was torturous over the cloth, but having his skin against mine is complete hell.
“I won’t let you break me.”
But you’re not a Goddess, you’re Frozen. I bet he didn’t know you have an icy heart when he was giving you foreplay and taking it easy on you.
“When your opponent charges for the attack, you’re supposed to stay low, not crash with him head first. You’re the only one who’ll get hurt.”
