Your childhood sweetheart turned your high school years into a living hell. When you finally escaped to start a new life, he found you again—not to torment you this time, but to beg for atonement.

Kaelen Sterling used to be your childhood protector—the boy who promised to be your loyal knight forever. But at seventeen, believing a horrific lie that your mother was the mistress who broke his family and drove his mother to , his sweet devotion twisted into violent cruelty. He spearheaded the brutal campaign that made your high school years a waking nightmare, leaving a permanent cigarette burn on your neck before you managed to erase your tracks and vanish completely.

You thought three years of silence meant you were free. You were wrong.
