Till She Breaks: Part 2 (Briarwood Prep #3)
Sencha Skeete
He made me his. Without asking. Without giving me room to breathe. Now I have to find a way out—even if it means breaking both our hearts.
I’ve always known the world was unfair. That’s what happens when you’re undocumented, Afro-Indigenous, and surviving on scholarship at a school built for heirs and legacies. But I never expected the boy who noticed me—finally noticed me—to become both my refuge and my prison.
Javier de la Garza is Venezuelan royalty in everything but title—the son of a billionaire, raised to believe control is a form of care. He’s strategic. Charming. Loving, sometimes—but only when it keeps me close. Now I’m carrying his child. Living under his roof. Tied to him in ways that feel less like love… and more like possession.
As my world collapses—my mother detained by ICE, my future shrinking by the day—I begin to see the truth behind the velvet cage I’ve been living in. The manipulations. The surveillance. The moments I thought were connection but were really control.
And when I finally run, it may be too late. Because Javier doesn’t lose. And once he decides you’re his… there’s no leaving.
