Kandy: It was love at first sight when I met Mr. Cane. He was handsome, broody, tattooed, and rich. For years, he's been mine. He just didn't know it. I wasn't expecting to fall in love with him, or for him to want me in the ways that he did. None of it was ever supposed to happen, but after all we've done together, it's too late to turn back now. A once harmless crush had blossomed into so much more. Cane: When we first met, she was just a kid - my best friend's daughter. But now, she's a young woman who knows what she wants, and all she wants is me.

When I was a little girl, Mr. Cane was my whole world. He was perfect and handsome and the best thing to have ever happened to my family. As I grew up, those feelings changed. I wanted him in every possible way, and I got what Id been craving. Then I learned things about him - dangerous things. I was too stubborn to heed his warnings - too naïve to see the complicated mess unfolding right in front of me. My life was torn to shreds because of my desire for him, but how am I supposed to stop loving a man who still means so much to me?

They say there is happiness at the end of every love story, but they never truly mention the hardships it takes to get there. With Cane, I’d been through hell and back, and now, I was going to be walking up the altar, promising my life to a man that I’d gambled everything for. Some would call me dumb. Some would deem me insane. Others would say I was a fool in love. But I knew what we were, and I knew what we had was real.

I was left broken, my heart beating a little bit harder in order to survive. I'd tried picking up the pieces, but when it came to Cane, it was hard to let go. The way we touched was special, and we promised to never forget one another. I had him right in the palm of my hand - thought everything was perfect - but in the blink of an eye, he was gone, leaving me with no choice but to pretend that what we had never existed.
