I couldn’t open my eyes. The reality of
all that had just happened was sinking in.
The bed moved underneath me, and i was
afraid if I looked, I’d see Blaise leaving me. I
wasn’t sure I could watch that. Now when I was this vulnerable.
I pulled my legs up against my chest in an
attempt to protect myself from the rejection
I knew was about to come. Except this
time, it had been more than a kiss. I’d been
intimate with him.
“No,” Blaise said as he grabbed my arm
and pulled it away from my knees.
Opening my eyes, I looked up to see him
standing over me.

Smokeshow
By: Abbi Glines

Synopsis:

Set in a world where southern wealth and power comes from one source. The Family is ruled by one boss and it’s time for the newer generation to step into place.

It’s a fragile thing- the whispers of truth that you hope are lies.

Hughes Farm was the largest racing horse establishment in the south. The family that owned it were known to be wealthy, powerful, arrogant, and terrifying. My first encounter with them didn’t prepare me for all that was to come. I don’t think anything truly could have.

Growing up with only my father and brother hadn’t been easy but we’d had each other. Losing them was the hardest thing I’d ever faced. It had made the times we went without food, electricity, or even shelter seem insignificant in comparison.

It is when a woman, claiming to have been my mother’s best friend, arrives to take me home with her that questions begin to surface. My father had rarely spoken of my mother. She’d died when I was a toddler. Having no other option, I trust this stranger and am thrown into a world of mansions, racing horses, extravagance, and him.

It’s true that there is a thin line between love and hate. But there is an even thinner line between truth and lies.
