To Hate Adam Connor

by Ella Maise

for a moment I thought she looked beautiful.

It’s happening 🤭

“What did you wrap around your heart to protect yourself, beautiful girl?” I asked, letting my fingertip trail down from her cheek to her chin. Her eyes cut to mine, and I knew I had her attention. “I see you unwrap it, whatever it is you have around your heart, so I know it’s there. You change when you are with your friends, with Aiden, but as soon as you can, you wrap it back up. I hope it’s not a steel cage, Lucy. I hope you’re being gentle with your heart, taking care of it for me.”

So precious

What you see is what you get with me, and the more I look at you,

Swoon

“I’m going to un-break your heart, Lucy,” he promised in a low voice.

Oh my goodness 🥺

“Lucy…if nothing else, just because of that comment I’m about to ruin you for any other man.”

Oh my welp hehe

“I’ll hold you up, Lucy. You can trust me. I see who you are. I see who you are, and I want you to choose me. I want you to open your eyes and look at me so you can see that I have what it takes, that I can take care of your heart for you.” “I don’t hate you anymore.”

Oh my heart

I want your heart, and I will have it.

Period

Did she know her hand was shaking as it lay on my cheek? That she was falling for me even as I kissed her like she was already mine? Did she know how much she was ruining me?

How sweet harsh words my heart

“I love you,” I admitted softly.

❤️

“Because I don’t want you to think. Because I don’t want you to have the option to say no to me. You’re mine, Lucy. When there is only one answer to a question and you already know what it is, it’s pointless to ask it. You will get married to me today. You will become my wife and you will always be mine.” His wife. His fucking wife.

This will sadly only work in books I think? Unless you know you know
