secrets from the world.

lifetime kind of love doesn’t come easy. When trust crumbles and doubts
creep in, both will have to decide to either love or let go…forever.
Welcome to
Briarcrest Academy, where sometimes, only the wicked survive.
Excerpt:
Cuba’s POV
Not exactly a
meet-cute…
The
room closed in, making me sweat. I hadn’t talked to her in over a year, and now
here we were, face-to-face. Two ex-lovers who hated each
other.
I
had to get away from her.
Dovey tilted her head as I stood, giving me a
scathing glare. “Leaving so soon? Yeah, go ahead, cut and run.
Coward.”
I
ignored her and tried to get Weinstein’s attention, to let her know she could
flunk me for all I cared.
“Before
you go, tell me one thing, and I’ll make sure we aren’t partners in this class.
You’ll be free of me,” she said.
“What?” I asked, my voice going all raspy, blocking
all the words I wanted to say. They weren’t things she ever needed to
hear.
“Why
so cruel to me? You aren’t to the other girls you date and dump. Why single me
out?”
I
seethed. “And it didn’t take you long to find someone else, now did it? How is
Spider? Does he get you hot like I did?”
She
smirked. “He’s fine. He thinks I hung the moon. He thinks you’re an ass. I
agree.”
I
tightened my fists and pressed them against my thighs, swearing to myself I
wasn’t responding to her bait. I swore. She was a dangerous game I didn’t need
to play.
Suddenly, her face fell. Was she recalling the last
time we were together? Was she remembering how I used to…
“I trusted you,” she whispered, all her anger
seeming to be gone. The unsteadiness of her voice undid me, sent me right over
the edge of that precarious cliff I’d been hanging on to by the skin of my
teeth.
Yeah, she hadn’t been the only one who’d trusted me.
I’d ruined them all. Every last one. Dark thoughts assaulted me, of the blood I
had on my hands.
Snap! My pencil broke and small pieces flew across my
desk and into the empty space between us.
I
wanted to pummel my desk until my fists bled. I wanted to punch a hole through
the wall, the floor, my face.
Everything was my fault. Just mine.
She’d been collateral damage, the kind that breaks
everyone involved. And I was sorry for it, but sometimes you do what hurts
because it’s for the best.
But
she was my kryptonite, leaving me no option but to hurt her.
Again.
I
didn’t think about my cruel words, I just said them. “You were a curiosity,
Dovey. You weren’t the usual BA girl, and I wanted a taste. That’s all. I moved
on when it got boring. Get over it.”
