Pretty Chains
Beauty and the Beast meets Cinderella vibes with added twists that will leave you clutching your pearls...
Adder Montgomery's void expression sent a chill up my spine, but the collective breath held by The City forced me to betray my mind's desperate pleas.
"I do," I spat with distaste, wincing with the helpless knowledge that I'd just sealed my worst possible fate. But what other choice did I have? When my father died, I became my stepmother's slave, and the money Adder was willing to pay was far more valuable to her than I would ever be.
During the day, Adder convincingly plays the role of a seasoned diplomat and forces me into public appearances, but at night, sometimes, he becomes a monster.
No matter what he does to me, I'll never admit this... but sometimes, I like it.
Once in a while, he comes to me at night as if he's a different man—a man with whom I could possibly fall in love. But that version of him is always gone by the morning.
He's hiding something from me, something dark and important. If I can discover Adder's secret, maybe one day, this mansion will cease to be my prison.
