How It All Began

How It All Began

Eve Peters

I knew the exact moment when everything changed. It was that day in March. In one day, I lost my job, saved my pregnant sister from committing suicide, and if that wasn’t enough, Kieran King walked into my life. I hated Kieran from the moment I laid eyes on him. He was an arrogant bastard that turned my life upside down. But no matter how much I despised and hated him, I couldn’t live without him. He blackmailed me, used me, was cruel and rough, and I wanted nothing more than to get away. But he also saved my life and protected me when I needed it most. Now I don’t know if I can leave anymore… I am Sophia Howard, and this is my story.
