Until I Break You

I crave her. Stalk her. Obsess over her. And tonight, I finally make her mine.

Sixteen years ago, I took everything from her—her brother, her innocence, her future.
Now I’m taking the rest.
She’s brilliant, plus-size, and the one thing that lights up my darkness. She doesn’t know that I watch her every move from my observation room. That I regularly break into her apartment. That I just bought the building she works in.
That I touch her while she sleeps.
She built a fashion empire from nothing, and I’m going to destroy it. Piece by piece, until she has nowhere left to turn.
Except to me.
They call me a monster. They’re right.
I break people. I manipulate them. I watch them suffer. And that’s exactly what I’ll do to anyone who comes close to her.
I’ve shut off anything that resembles feelings or memories from my past. But she does things to me that make me feel almost human. I need her to need me.
But she isn’t breaking the way I planned.
Even as I reveal the depths of my obsession, and the special room I had custom-built for her, she doesn’t run. She’s the queen to my king in a game she never agreed to play.
Now the secret society wants to meet the woman who tamed their most ruthless member.
Welcome to the Club, pretty mouse.
The game is up. And I’m here to claim my prize.
Ready or not, here I come.
