Fragile Novel

Rose has always known Ares as her childhood bully, someone whose commands she must obey without question. But when he confronts her in front of the entire school, asking who has the right to bully her, the familiar dynamic takes an unexpected turn. As the feared male draws her close, smoothing her ruffled skirt, Rose can only confirm what has always been true: he is her bully, and she must do whatever he says. When Ares commands her to bow her head, the chocolate-eyed girl complies, fidgeting adorably with the golden button on his coat. What follows shocks everyone watching—soft kisses rain down upon her braided black hair. The gasps echoing around them mark a clear declaration: the innocent Rose belongs to Ares, and Ares alone.
