Reseña del libro "This Isn't Love (en Inglés)"
Blood poured from my nose when the hit connected. It was so unexpected. Grabbing my nose, I fell to the floor in shock. I scooted back against the wall as he approached me. "Alaya told me you was hugged up with that nigga!" he yelled, coming closer. "I knew your ass couldn't be trusted.""What the hell is wrong with you?" I screamed, trying to disappear into the wall. "We aren't even together!"I closed my eyes to stop the tears that threatened to fall once he was in front of me. Don't cry. I told myself. Don't give him the satisfaction. Crouching down so we were eye level, he cupped my face before sliding his hands down to my neck. My breath caught when pressure was added."Zahara Germini Amara Fields, how many times must I tell you that you belong to me?" he asked calmly, tightening his grip. "I own you. You do nothing and go nowhere without my say so."I knew my face was changing colors and I began to feel light headed from the lack of oxygen. He tightened his grip once more and leaned towards my ear. "I could end you," he said. "No, I will end you, if you ever disrespect me again." _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Zahara Fields had always been careful about love and relationships after witnessing her mother get beat up.
