I am suffocating in a world where wealth and appearances are everything. My so-called family only cares about my money. Every part of my life is controlled, from what I wear to how much I eat. I am their puppet, and this is their show. When everything finally comes crashing down, it’s Cyrus who cuts the strings that keep me tied to their strict expectations. With him and his family, I discover the truth and a love that defies my elitist upbringing. In this tangled web of darkness, I must find my true self and hold on to a love that I deserve. They tried to twist me until I broke but now that I have tasted freedom, I refuse to give it up. I will fight my way to where I belong. This is a DARK fairytale retelling of The Ugly Duckling and contains HEAVY triggers. Reader’s discretion is HIGHLY advised. This is NOT the fairytale you know.
