Here’s a new sneak peek of Pretty Cruel Love! >3


Prologue

The ‘Sadie Pretty’ Verdict Is Officially Here

“She’s a cunt who deserves to fry in the chair…”

Those were the final shouting words of victim Maxwell Wright’s mother before the bailiff escorted her away during the verdict reading.

Somehow, the judge let her previous outbursts of “Why the hell did you waste everyone’s time by pleading ‘not guilty?’” & “I hope your new cellmate rams a rusted pole up your ass every night!” slide by without a single warning.

Alas, it took just nine minutes and thirty-eight seconds for the jury to seal Sadie Pretty’s fate.

The woman once known for her striking looks, calm composure, and breathtakingly beautiful artwork on social media now bears a far uglier title: convicted murderer.

The courtroom practically vibrated with energy as the foreman read the final decision. There were cheers, gasps, even a few tears—while Sadie didn’t flinch. 

She merely stared straight ahead. Calm. Cold. Cruel.

Remember: She was the only one caught on camera entering and exiting the scene where the police would eventually find three victims, and her DNA was everywhere.

No accomplice. No alibi.

Just Sadie.

And still, she said no to a plea deal.

Instead of a long sentence with a chance at freedom, Sadie Pretty faces a lifetime in a cell.

The real mystery was never the crime, though. It’s why she ever believed that she would get away with it…
