After his parents and his girlfriend died in a car accident, Rio Dasilva decided to go live with his old uncle in a small town far away from his tragic memories. A year later the pain is still unbearable but he has learned to cope with it until one day... a new student arrives at school and to his surprise it's none other than the sister of the murderer who took the life of his parents and girlfriend. Her brother never went to prison for the crime he committed because their family is rich and powerful. All the rage that Rio has kept bottled up inside of him resurfaces the moment his eyes meet hers. Her name is Noralyn Chase. She belongs to that horrible family. Just like the rest of them she deserves to burn in hell.
View MorePOV NoralynWhen I go back to school the next day I give myself the mission to find Rio and have that serious conversation with him. But I don't see him the hallways and today I don't have in common classes with him.At lunch I find Kline under that tree where he loves to sit and I ask him if he's seen Rio but he shakes his head."I haven't seen him since last night. He doesn't pick up his phone either." He shrugs before handing out a sandwich to me. "I guess he needs time to be on his own."I take the sandwich and sit next to Kline to start eating. My curiosity gets the best of me and I can't help asking. "Do you know if something had happened between him and that guy he was fighting with."Kline shakes his head. "I have no idea. You know, Rio and I might be friends but he's someone who prefers keeping things to himself especially the heavy stuff. He doesn't open up easily."He said this with sadness in his voice and I realize h
POV NoralynIt takes three people to get Rio off the dude who was trying to intimidate me that night I went to see Kline's skateboard show.They take him far from the scene and I see Kline talking to him in the distance probably trying to make him calm down.Everything happenned so fast that I don't even know what caused it. One second Jade and I were standing next to each other close to my bike she was wishing me good luck after they announced my name as the other person who was going to race and then the next thing I know people start cheering loudly as they forme a circle around two guys fighting...I could only stand there and watch."Tyron must have done something to him," Jade says. "Rio isn't the type to get into fights."I don't say anything and continue to watch Rio and Kline talking. From that distance I can't guess what they're talking about but it seems pretty obvious that Rio isn't lik
POV RioThe thing about racing in the mountains of this town is that it always makes you feel like you might die with every turn that you take. The wind is icy this late into the night and the headlights of my bike is the only thing piercing through the darkness. There are shadows all around me like the shadows playing hide and seek in my mind.The rare moments of existence during which I truly feel alive are either when I'm taking a blow on the arena or when I'm driving my bike as fast as I can on an empty road like this one. For a moment I can pretend that I'm racing toward my freedom, that if I drive as fast as I can I'll be able to escape this life and the dark hole inside my chest. Or maybe I'll just take a bad turn and crash but that still would be a good thing because if there is an afterlife, I'm pretty sure that I'll spend it with C
POV Noralyn "Oh God, I think I'm in love!" Jade reaches out her hand to touch the screen of my laptop. Her fingers caress the frozen image of the actor on the screen. We're in my bedroom watching my favorite TV show, Supernatural. Jade has apparently fallen for Dean Winchester, one of the male lead actors of the show. "I'm telling you girl, I'm in love!" She makes fawning noises and I can't help but laugh. "Okay, Mrs Winchester stop making out with my laptop please." I laugh as I take her by the arms when she starts kissing the screen. "Who's your favorite character in Supernatural?" She asks while picking up
POV RioThe two bodyguards standing in front of Davis's office don't say anything to me when I approach the door and knock. I don't wait for him to tell me to come in and simply go inside. He's talking on the phone when I come inside and gestures with his fingers for me to wait one minute. I sit in front of his desk and patiently wait. I know very well that nothing about my expression indicates that I've come here to have a friendly conversation and Davis must be able to see it on my face.When he finally hangs up the phone he looks at me with such a fake smile that I want to puke. "Rio my man! Glad you came back safe and sound."
POV NoralynWhen I wake up my heart is beating wildly inside my chest and I'm all sweaty. There's a strange noise coming from outside, like a repeated pounding and for a moment I think that I'm hallucinating or that it's simply the sound of my beating heart that has been magnified in my panic, until I realize that in fact there's someone knocking at my door.I stand like a robot, still not totally woken up from the nightmare I just had and open the door. Rio is standing in front of me, a strange expression on his face and I cannot for the life of me figure out what he's doing at my house at 3AM. Suddenly I remember that we're at a motel."You were screaming," Rio says and his eyes look behind me as if he's searching for something inside the room."It's nothing, I just had a nightmare."I cross my arms in front of me and lower my head because I start feeling naked that he's able to see how terrified
POV RioCamilla and I met when I was at the lowest point of my existence. If you've never experienced falling into a dark void and being powerless against the gravity that pulls you to the ground, then you probably won't understand what I went through.Before fate finally brought Camilla into my life a lot of girls came and went away. Sadly, in all the relationships that I had before I met Camilla, I always managed to give more than I ever received. Maybe this is what changed me or maybe it was bound to happen that I became a player anyway.I stopped caring about labels, "relationship, girlfriend, couple" and made sure that everyone I would get involved with understood that there would never be anyt
POV NoralynHospital food tastes horrible. I barely take two bites before I put my fork down and push my plate aside. Kline and I are in the cafeteria, we decided to grab a bite before we hit the road again since our lunch was interrupted back at school. My mother has already called me and to say that she wasn’t happy that I’m out of town would be a euphemism.“How did it go?” Kline asks with concern in his voice.“Well, it could have been worse. I yelled at him and he asked me to leave but I sat there and refused to go.”That makes Kline smile. “Ouh, a little stubborn aren’t we?”“You could say that. We ended up talking for a while. Not heavy stuff thoug
POV NoralynI’m looking out of the passenger window but I see nothing of the surroundings. My mind is lost in a jungle of desperate thoughts. What I feared the most happened. For weeks after I had broken up with Keelan I kept feeling anxious that the fact that I broke up with him affects his mental health. He used to call me non stop until I told him firmly to stop doing it. Eventually I didn't hear from him anymore and now one year later….When we started dating it felt like we were two puzzles that complemented each other. Keelan needed someone who would accept him for who he was and I needed someone who could understand what was going on my head, who wouldn’t pressure me to always talk about my bad thoughts, who knew what having a bad day meant, and who could deal with the fact that I would
POV RioOne thing that I hate about school is the monotony. I hate being in places where nothing happens. I need action to survive, either the bass of music resonating in my ears, loud enough to burst my hearing or the wild scream of a frantic crowd when two opponents are inside the arena, their fists about to collide with each other's face. I have a fight scheduled for tonight. Davis promised me a beautiful amount if I win but he knows very well that I never do it for the money. I just can't go long enough without punching someone or I'll go mad. "Are you with us Mr. Dasilva?"The math teacher is looking at me behind his glasses with a look of disapproval on his face. Another thing I hate about school is annoying teachers like this one who always think that students who don't interact in their class are either dumb or troublemakers. "Yeah," I answer without bothering to look
