Story
The story
Julian never knew that on the night Scarlett pointed a gun at his head and demanded a breakup, she was three months pregnant with his child. He only knew she had gone mad, that she wanted to kill his mistress Chloe and their baby, and then end herself. When he choked her and threw her to the ground, he roared with disgust, calling her a filthy ex-con, then walked away protecting Chloe and her child, never looking back. He didn't see the blood pooling beneath her.
Three years later, they were strangers. Scarlett bumped into Julian at the entrance of the OB-GYN clinic, where he was shielding his new girlfriend. When his eyes landed on her baby bump, his feet were nailed to the floor. As the nurse called her name, Julian's voice came from behind, hoarse and strained, apologising for back then. Scarlett didn't stop. She walked away as if she heard nothing.
From eighteen to twenty-five, seven years entangled with Julian Vance, two weeds growing in the cracks of the foster care system, ended in a bloodbath in New York. Both wanted to win. Both lost everything.
Opening excerpt
Julian never knew that on the night I pointed a gun at his head and demanded a breakup...
I was three months pregnant with his child.
He only knew I had gone mad. That I wanted to kill his mistress and their baby, and then end myself.
When he choked me and threw me to the ground, he roared with disgust:
"Do I not have the right to choose someone else?"
"Am I stuck with a filthy ex-con like you for the rest of my life?"
These are the opening lines of chapter 1. Keep reading →
