Kindle Notes & Highlights
This book is dedicated to anyone brave enough to embrace your issues… Courageous enough to dance with your demons. Here’s to the beautiful deformities in us all.
He might be the one to settle my inner turmoil, and I think I could do the same for him. Maybe we’re two mangled, jagged pieces who could click together, despite all the fires burning around us.
“Give in to me, Dascha.” He lifts his face to look down at me. “I don’t want to want you anymore than you want me wanting you.”
“Remember your place here, 101. You’re a number, not a person. You don’t get to ask questions, you don’t get to talk shit, or try to fight back. You do what we say, or you fucking die. End of story.”
I don’t want him, and I don’t want him to want me. But I also don’t seem to want him to not want me. It’s very confusing.
He’s Satan. That’s who he is. I’ve been fucking around with Lucifer himself.
I start walking away but Darcey’s voice catches me. “Dash…” I turn over my shoulder. “Just because we’re broken, it doesn’t mean we need them to put us back together.”
I’m far from done with Dascha Reznikov. In fact, we’ve only just begun.
If he truly thinks he’s in here for simply getting caught robbing a bank, then either he’s a deep-seated liar, like Ren. Or he somehow blocked out what happened.
It’s like something has snapped inside us, and we’re no longer a prisoner and a guard; we’re not enemies, or opposites, or a stalker and his prey. We’re lovers, coming together in reciprocal desire.
“We could… run away,” his voice is hushed with trepidation before he breathes, “Together.”
Dascha Reznikov deserves to be freed from this hellhole, and I’ll be the one to do it.
I know it doesn’t make any sense, but I need him. I’ve never felt as whole as I do with him.
Dascha Reznikov has filled in all the cracks in my foundation.
“You killed two people, Dascha,” he goes on, stepping closer to me. “In cold blood. One of them, the relative of our fucking Governor.
“I don’t… remember.”
I sleep for two days, and when I awake, I have no memory of anything that happened.
Eight years ago, I killed my mother. And I haven’t been inside this room since.
After the Warden had me shave his head, I immediately stormed off and waited for him in his office. And I quit.
He’s him, and yet he’s not.
“I want to fucking ravage you. I’ve never felt like this before.”
“It’s so… different with you. It’s like we’ve… met before.”

face. “Don’t take this the wrong way, but… I’m so happy.”
“I’ve been seeing someone.”
“Baby, you’re a revelation,”
I don’t care how broken he is, and I don’t care what he’s done. To me, he’s perfect, and I’ll never make the mistake of letting him go again.
But you have something in your brain, like a wound that cannot be healed.
Maybe some things in life are meant to forever fluctuate. Like chaos. A perfect imbalance. And maybe even the distorted can be beautiful, when you really look at it.
