He drove me out of town. Now I’m back, and I’ll never let him win again.

 

Theodore Oakham is a devil hiding behind a pretty mask, haunting my days and twisting them into nightmares. I thought I could run from him, but I was wrong. He has me in his sights again, and this time, he isn’t letting go.

 

Like a spider, he weaves his web of lies and secrets around me, drawing me closer and closer.

 

But I’ve been burned before, and this time, I’m not playing games. I’m in town to lay my parents to rest, and then I’m putting the past where it belongs—in my rearview mirror.

 

If Theodore thinks he can trap me with honeyed promises, he’s about to discover how wrong he is. I’m no longer the weak child he bullied at school. I’ve learnt to bite back.

 

And I’ll make him regret ever crossing me.
