Until I Ruin You by Lara Hart

I watch her. Stalk her. Obsess over every part of her. And now, I make her mine.
She doesn’t know I exist. But I know everything about her.
The way she works on her sculptures until her hands shake. The way she takes her coffee black, standing up, like rest is something she hasn’t earned. The way her already abysmal savings are bleeding out month by month.
She doesn’t know I bought the building across from her studio. That I installed a camera in it. That I broke into her apartment to lie in her bed. That the gallery show launching her career was funded by a man she’s never met.
They trained me to dismantle people. She’s the first one I want to keep.
I’m part of a masked secret society that doesn’t officially exist. I’ve broken men in parking garages and cleaned the blood from my hands before dinner. I’ve erased every soft thing inside me since I was twelve years old.
I was trained to feel nothing. The Program made me a perfect weapon—calculating, cold, ruthless. But she’s the glitch in my code. The error I can’t fix.
She makes me feel. And feeling is the most dangerous thing I’ve ever done.
When she finds out what I am, she’ll either run or burn my world to the ground.
But here’s the thing: I can’t lose her.
So welcome to the Club, little mouse.
The game was over before it began. And I always win.
Ready or not, I’m coming to catch you.
