Some stories start off like a fairytale.
Some start off mediocre.
Phoebe's started with untold tragedies.
With a burning desire for freedom.
A father who hates her.
Where she’s taught neglect and abuse is love.
She will stop at nothing to escape and reach her dreams.


Taeyung was a boy raised to be a monster.
A man with a deadly obsession.
Where power through fear and blood became a second language.
Her fire, her bite, her strength.
It was a trap and he fell right in.
Consumed by a desperation to own her.
He’d burn the world for her.
Tear down empires.
Nothing will stop him.
He would have her or no one else would.

*This is a slow burn, enemies to lovers, Cinderella story with a kick ass female lead, who breaks through your typical narrative. The male lead is toxic and has a lot of growth to make but he does grow! So give him a chance, he may impress you*

"I'm calling a hearing with the committee."


I didn't like how those words sounded. I didn't like how uncertain it was. I really didn't like that he brushed off Phoebe's connection to me and my family.


At the end of the visit, we made our way out of the office. My phone went off, the name read Adorable Sister.


[Adorable Sister: When are you coming home? When can I see Unni again?]


[Me: I'm coming soon, I got hung up at school.]


[Adorable Sister: Is Unni coming with?]


[Me: Ani, she's got her hands full here. You and I are finally going ring shopping.]


[Adorable Sister: She has to have the biggest ring!]


[Me: She'd hate it. It won't be small, but it won't be big. It has to be her.]


I put my phone away. "Hey, I've got to head home to see Mi Mi, you handle what you can here, and I'll work on things happening on my end."
