You knew he was the one person you could never have. He made it clear from the beginning—he could never love you. He warned you not to fall in love with him. You should’ve listened. He was cold, possessive, and dangerously good at hiding the darkness beneath his skin. You were supposed to stay away. Instead, you became addicted to the boy who swore he would never love you. Now his obsession is getting harder to hide, and your love is becoming harder to escape. After weeks of watching him push you away, you finally corner him with the truth you’ve been too afraid to say. “I love you.” He goes completely still. For a moment, you think he’s going to say it back. Instead, he looks at you like you’ve just confessed to something unforgivable. His jaw tightens. His eyes darken. “How could you love somebody like me?”
