Petal

“I THOUGHT SHE WAS MY CURSE.TURNED OUT SHE IS MY CURE.” Kai Droga:

I was betrayed. Burned. Scarred.

Because of a single night of chaos four years ago.

Because of the girl who stole my heart—Callie Mays.

I thought she ruined us, but I was wrong.

Four years later, my dirty broken heart is still beating. And still beating hard for her.

She is my cure and my obsession. The reason my dirty, broken heart still betas.

We lost our families and we only have each other.

The Chancellor made a grave mistake of taking her away from me.

Callie is mine. My reason to keep fighting.

And this time, I will burn down this ruthless paradise to get her back.
