Chapter 1

𝒜𝓂𝑒𝓁𝒾𝒶 𝐸𝓋𝒶𝓃𝓈.

Amelia was once a bright, cheerful girl, but her teenage years were marred by darkness and cruelty. Bullied and tortured by her peers, and neglected by a mother who never showed her love, Amelia grew into a heartless, fearless young woman, defiantly showing the world her middle finger. Among her tormentors was a boy whose intense stares promised salvation, yet he never lifted a finger to help her. She despised him for his inaction, but everything changed the day he decided to truly see her, focusing his attention in a way that transformed her life forever.

Ian, the most influential person at St. Paul's High School and the captain of the football team, lives like a king, always winning and never tolerating loss in games or life. His all-consuming, suffocating dark aura keeps everyone at a distance, impenetrable to all except his mother. That is, until he encounters Amelia, the girl who stares at him as if she can see beneath his skin. Her piercing gaze unnerves him, revealing a vulnerability no one else perceives. Despite his hatred for her uncanny ability to read him, Ian finds himself irresistibly drawn to her, eventually deciding to act on the magnetic pull between them, setting in motion a change that will alter both their lives.
