Male Lead: Aiden King
Female Lead: Elsa Steel
This book starts with Aiden's pov in the past. It breaks me knowing the mother-son bonding between Aiden and Alicia. Just imagine, your father has been busy all the time so you'd think your mother only matters to you at that moment. Aiden was kidnapped and the first thing on his mind was of course his mum. He's just a boy.
Just got to know Knox is actually Elsa's foster brother. But then, knowing that Knox and Teal were the first victims of Elsa's mother was kind of surprising. Woah, it's only the beginning of the chapter but it's getting really dark.
Now, that's why Aiden told Elsa to never say something if she doesn't really mean it. It hurts him cause she keep making promises to him without actually granted it. But, it's because she can't remember. Oh my god, she really made a huge promise, she said she wants to marry Aiden and but him a bucket of Malteser just to make him happy from them monsters who had been torturing and cage him.
Reading both Aiden and Elsa's pov from the past was hell. The reason why Elsa have a heart condition was because her very own ill mother shot her. That was so messed up. She's also saved Aiden too. He was mad asf and thought she was no more at that moment. I was feeling devastated reading such a dark book with heartbreaking background story.
Got to know the details of everything. Somehow I feel like I am Elsa, learning what actually happened throughout this book.
