Kindle Notes & Highlights
“If you want to make a bully back down you have to beat them at their own game. If she makes fun of you, then you make fun of her right back and expose her insecurities in front of everyone.” “How?” “Everyone has insecurities, baby girl. Study someone long enough and you’ll figure out what theirs are.”
Her frown deepens. “Promise me you’ll never fall in love.” My parents have their issues and sometimes my mom says things that don’t make any sense to me. Things like—men were toxic, and you needed to destroy them before they destroyed you—but deep down I know she loves my father. However, her new thing is making me promise never to fall in love. “Why?” Usually, I reassured her and vowed to do whatever she wanted, but I’m starting to grow curious. Every fairytale made it seem like love was the best feeling in the world. I don’t get why my mom doesn’t want me to experience it. Drawing her

“Then why is falling in love so bad?” “Falling in love isn’t bad. It’s who you fall in love with.” “I don’t understand.” “You don’t now, but one day you will.” She cradles my face in her hands. “Love gives someone the power to break you…and if you give the wrong man that power…he’ll shatter your heart and ruin you.”
Why? Why did she have to do this to her?
She wanted it sweet and gentle while I… Wanted to fuck. Show her my scars. But Hayley wasn’t interested in seeing them. No one is. Everyone in my life just wants the funny jokester who’s always there to make them feel better. And I do it without protest…because I don’t want the people I give a shit about to abandon me.
Biting my knuckle, I reach over and turn off the light, forcing my dick not to react to the sight of her. Cute cuddly puppies and ugly nuns.

Once again, my mother was right. You can go through life being the most beautiful specimen on earth…yet feel completely unnoticed and alone. People only see what they want to see. And no one wants to see me. Fuck them. Fuck this. Fuck everything.
It’s a visceral punch to the gut when she gives me a small smile. Forcing myself to stay away from her kills me, but keeping my distance is the right thing to do. Because she hurt me in ways she doesn’t remember… and I hurt her in ways I can’t forget.
Bianca Covington is the type of woman who could steal a man's soul and then destroy his existence when she’s done. If I had any sense, I’d stay far away. She stops moving, that gorgeous smile falling off her lips as thunder booms above us. “Please.” Like a moth to a flame, I find myself moving closer, drawn to this frustrating—yet fascinating paradox of a girl I have no business fooling around with. I grip her waist. “I don’t dance.” But I do…for her.
“I get that, but it doesn’t mean you need to be the one to play captain save a ho. Tell her to call the police.”
OMG 😂😂😂
“That’s the thing, Bourne. I don’t think you are.” Anger illuminates his features. “God, I let you inside my head…inside my heart. You were nothing but a poisonous, worthless cunt who deserved to die…but I craved you. Goddammit, I fucking craved you.” He grips my chin forcefully. “And then I got you…and you sucked the life out of me until you broke me.”
WTF! Asshole
And while I am fragile right now…I’m not fragile like glass. I'm fragile like a bomb.

“Look at me,” he rasps. “Please.” When I do, he says, “You’re gonna meet a man who deserves you. And when the time is right…you’re gonna have his babies. You’re gonna be the best mom—” “Stop talking,” I scream because he doesn’t get it. “I don’t want anyone else’s babies. I wanted yours.” But that will never happen.
My heart is breaking and bleeding.

“What are you doing?” I type Wayne’s name into the keyboard. “Texting your dad.” I warned the man that I was going to be his daughter-in-law one day.
Warned, not told but warned. I ❤️ Bianca Covington
