My Butterfly

My Butterfly
Maya, an introverted beauty, starts a new college life hoping for peace after years of bullying. But her quiet existence is shattered when she catches the eye of Rhys Bernard, the college's most ruthless bully and the son of a powerful mafia leader. Rhys sees Maya not as a person, but as a fragile "butterfly" to be captured and crushed. Can Maya escape the dark obsession of a man who thrives on fear and destruction?

I sat on the bed, letting out a heavy sigh for the fifth time, my gaze fixed on my reflection in the mirror. Today was the day I was starting at a new college. To be honest, I was more terrified than nervous. My stomach churned, and a sense of dread washed over me.

My name is Maya Morales. From the moment I was born, I was a scaredy-cat—an introvert who found comfort in solitude, never quite fitting in with anyone. I didn't have friends, not a single one. My world was small, just me, my books, and my family. I liked it that way. It was easier to retreat into the safe cocoon of my room than face the chaos of the world outside.

But now, here I was, standing at the edge of something new. A new college, a new city. I was a little lost and overwhelmed, but I had no choice. This was it.
