You see how good we are together, Olivia? We could've had the world, and you had to ruin it. I was going to give you everything you ever wanted. Now I need to take. I nearly have all of you.
I have your mind.
T have your body.
T have your soul. The fear I instill in you. The pain I inflict when you defy me.
You have a black heart, little sister, but I'll own that soon too.
Tropes: Stalking; taboo: step siblings(not blood related; both adopted); OTT & obsessive MMC and mask & chase play
This may not suite to certain readers so read TW b4.
Malachi and Olivia, both foster siblings, shared a bond that rose above simple family ties; forbidden. But it didn’t stop them.
Malachi considered himself to be Olivia's protector, profoundly has a huge possessiveness and connection with her.
When a situation took steps to seperate them.
Years later, Malachi stalks her and keeps her nearby; as in killing any men who she touches. The betrayal he feels is still boiling as he not only stalks her but fulfills her darkest fantasy by also satisfying his own taboo lust.
It’s been a while since I’ve read a dark romance to this extent. Please read the TW! I did enjoyed it. It was crazy and to keep in mind that some things are meant to stay in books.
There are some ow drama(for thoses who don’t like that.)
And MMC communicates with sign languages; Rep. and a somewhat sub: He's waiting for instructions, the clueless look in his eyes making me giddy -Malachi Vize, innocent only for me, on his knees for his sister, looking like I own him.
Not so innocent as he acts:
Malachi: Since you're teaching me everything else, will you teach me how to say your name? I might fuck the pronunciation up a few times, but I want to know how to say it.
PSA; it wasn’t as dark as I expected based on others reviews.
PSA2; I still do not like their parents especially their mom for selling her daughter’s virginity.
PSA3: Malachi is a sociopath: Go kiss your future husband, little sister. And when you do, you better think about me and all the ways I'll fuck you in his blood.
