✨️💜 🖤Dirty Sparkle - A emotional Comtempory Romance - Enemies x lovers - Rom com x Banter energy:

"I’ve spent my whole life being good.

Good girl.
Good daughter.
Good at following rules that were never mine to begin with.

That girl is gone.
I made sure of it.

But Axel Calloway has always been my undoing.

He knows exactly how to push. How to provoke. How to look at me like he sees the parts I once hid beneath manners and restraint. Every touch threatens the version of myself I fought to become.

I tell myself I don’t want him.
I tell myself this is just history repeating.

But the more I try to hold on to who I am now, the more I realise she might not survive this.

And maybe… she isn’t meant to.

Some things don’t break cleanly.
They sparkle first."
