In this story, Kevin may be the villain, but I am the monster. 

In the end, I don't get the happily ever after. In the end, I don't get the girl. 

Juniper

I'm pregnant and I don't know what to do. I can't tell my parents. Kevin never wanted a baby. The only person who knows is Boone, and he swore he wouldn't tell anyone and even though I've just met him, I believe he'll keep my secret. 

Morning sickness is no joke, so when Mom mentions needing to go out of town to help her sister, and I encourage my parents to go. With them gone, I won't live in fear that they will discover what I'm trying to keep hidden. 

Now it's Boone and I. I thought I knew how a husband was supposed to treat his wife, but Boone is contradicting those thoughts. 

But, when I discover that he's connected to my ex, all the trust I had for him crumbles away. I'm not meant for a happily ever after and my knight in shining armor? 

He doesn't exist. 

Ella

I can't shake the mystery man's words. I know I should ignore what he said. I can't help but think there's trouble in Proctor paradise. 

If only Asher could see what I see.

And when he asks me to let it go and just be happy for him, I try...

Until I can't ignore my suspicions any longer. 

I'll discover their secrets and when I do, I just hope my best friend isn't in the line of fire when I go to take the whole Proctor dynasty down.
