Revive Me: Part One: The Act

Mallory

The first time I kissed Christopher Johnson, I knew he would be my biggest mistake. It was supposed to be a simple business arrangement, a few months of playing a role that came far too easily to the both of us, but it wasn't long before it became more. Love. Devotion. Heartbreak in its truest form.

Some people say life is for the living, but I say life is for the prepared. To avoid unfortunate complications like having your heart broken by a man past experiences taught you, you never should have trusted in the first place.

There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do for Mallory Kent. She's strong, serious, and always in control of every situation around her, which is why the second I see her looking panicked and uncertain in the arms of a figure from her past, I don't think. I just act.

I had no idea that one small decision would lead to this. A fake relationship-designed to solve her problems and mine-turned real. An earth shattering love torn apart by the very forces that led to its conception. There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do for Mallory Kent, including break her heart to save her soul.

Contains mature themes.
