Maybe not all twelve year olds have that insight, but I did. It was hard not to when I snuck up to sleep in the hallway adjacent to theirs. The fighting between my parents was at an all-time high, and even though we lived in a mansion and they kept to their wing, I could still hear them. I’d been shipped to Hillcrest Academy slightly against my wishes-but also not. That’d been the only pause for me, because I was not this type of girl. When I first walked into our room, I took in her bedding, which looked like a cloud with crystal lights surrounding it, the massive amount of photographs she’d taped to her wall in the shape of a heart, and the framed canvas with a quote in glittering font that read, Fairytales Happen.

Our beginning six months went by without a hiccup. My boarding school roommate was a mafia princess.Īlthough I didn’t learn that at first. ** This is a 120k full-length standalone. Brooke left Hillcrest for good, and that was the last time I saw her.įourteen years later, I'm staring at her face on the television. Three months later, her father died, and Kai became the head of the Bennett Family. Her father said accident, but Brooke said murder. They were mafia, and Brooke's oldest brother was dead. He came to our school with their father, and that's when I learned what kind of family Brooke came from.

Kai had eyes that pulled me in and a face that haunted my dreams. I became fascinated with her second-oldest brother. The only things she showed me were photographs of her brothers. She was fun and outgoing, but she kept quiet about her family. The wealthiest of the wealthy sent their kids to our boarding school, and Brooke Bennett had been at the top, though I never quite knew why.

Brooke is missing.There were always whispers about my roommate at Hillcrest Academy.
