Breaking Ryann

He promised to leave me alone, but that was a lie. I should have known he'd have this pull on me—seeping through my skin and into my bones, burning me from the outside in. It's just like when we were kids, and I can no longer avoid him. I've accepted it, but what will it take to convince him that I am no longer his? Is that really what I want? I told her I'd leave her alone. But who was I kidding? I've never been one to back away from a challenge. He stole my girl—my future—from me. I'm coming back with a vengeance. I'm taking back what he took from me. After all the secrets and lies, can we come back from this? Even if it breaks me, I'll stop at nothing to protect what's always been mine.
