Prologue
Laurel
If you were hoping for a strong, badass bitch, then this story will probably be a disappointment.
I was a lot of things.
And none of them I could be proud of.
A hypocrite.
A liar.
A cheat.
A disappointment.
A failure.
And while I may have had the bitch part down, I was neither strong nor badass.
I was weak.
I was, without a doubt, a mess.
The only thing I managed to be good at was pushing away the one person that saw through all of that and still wanted to touch me.
There was no beginning for us. It simply wasn’t and then it was.Hecame out of nowhere and somehow turned my life upside down and inside out.
I hated him for it.
I put the blame on him even though I knew I was the only one that was at fault.
And sadly, I loved him too.
Only now, I wondered if I had gone too far, pushed too hard, and lost him for good.
Maybe it wouldn’t even matter. Maybe I would never know how it all could have turned out.
Because as I sat there, cowering in this cell naked and filthy, I didn’t think I would ever be free again to find out.
