Innocence Under the Skyline

Everyone in Washington Heights believed Lucas Kane was the only thing keeping me from drowning. They saw the childhood genius who shielded an orphan from the world's cruelty, the boy who promised to be my lifelong protector. But they didn't see the psychotropics he slipped into my drinks or the way he traded my soul for a rich girl’s favor. They didn't know that the man I loved was the son of the monster who murdered my family. I thought we were fighting to escape the gutter together, but I was just the sacrificial lamb for his climb to the top.
