Kasim Barnes is the cause and the cure. 
His pieces fit mine, furnishing the spaces where I am void, abundant where I am scarce. 
And yet, he’s everything I should never have wanted. 
I want nothing more than to free my heart from his chains, but when he anchors his eyes on me, I forget to breathe.
 
I didn’t know what falling for him would do to me. 
That our attraction would burn so hot that it hurt.
That he would destroy me inside and out. 
That finding out the truth would change everything. 
 
They say all great love stories either end in happily ever after or tragedy and tears. 
Well, ours may just start a war.
