My life was normal.
My life was stolen away in the blink of an eye.
At eighteen-years-old, I was kidnapped and sold. Purchased by a couple who'd put their life savings into rescuing a stranger, with only one request... I'd befriend their mentally-unwell son.
So, I did.
And he made it easy, being everything I needed to escape the darkness in my own head.
But it was all lies.
I was never meant to be a friend. I was here for a purpose, a means of controlling someone they couldn't. Someone volatile and unpredictable. Someone who could switch from my dream guy to my worst nightmare without a warning.
And I'd made the mistake of getting close to him before seeing all sides of him.
And that left me defenseless.
