🎶 I'm so good at telling lies. That came from my mother's side. Told a million to survive 🎶

Anastasia Cooper (h) is the most hated woman in Sorelle. To avoid the modern slavery charges her scheming stepsister has falsely accused her of, Stasi retreats to a quiet life under house arrest, hoping to escape the relentless media frenzy. But what she didn’t expect were them—the Tate brothers, Kit, Rafe & Silas (H).

─── �� ｡ﾟ��: THOUGHTS*.�� .*:☆ﾟ. ───

Anastasia deserved so much better, and everyone just treated her like crap. She was mistreated for YEARS, constantly misunderstood, and honestly, she deserved to have a full-blown tantrum moment. That scene where she goes numb to her emotions? Ate down. I was waiting for her to let out some serious female rage and just scream, because seriously—how did she put up with all that? She took all the mistreatment and didn’t even defend herself sometimes. I was just like, baby, you deserve better . I don’t know how she did it, but honestly, I would’ve cracked YEARS ago. I love her, though, because she truly deserved the world. She needed love so badly over the years, and she never got it—until the Tate brothers came in. But, of course, the sad part is that she thought they were coming to vouch for her, and nope, they just took her so she could serve them. They had me absolutely enraged because they treated her like total garbage as some punishment for something that wasn’t even her fault. Like, miscommunication tropes ruin lives, people!!! At least they gave her a check at the end for all her work, though. PERIOD . And honestly, that’s still not enough. Keep that money coming, because she deserves so much more.

[Kit]

“You’re going to break her,�� Kit says softly. “She’s not a machine, Silas. What will you do then?��

“It won’t hurt her to do some work for a change. Have you forgotten what she did to her stepsister?��

“Are you sure about what happened there? Because I’m not.��

Kit was everything. He had a soft spot for her and called out the others when they were being unnecessarily cruel to her. He was the one who asked her for the truth—her version of it—and actually believed her. He didn’t second-guess her or doubt her for a second. He’s her number one defender, no question. He knows the kind of person she is, and that’s who he fell for. KIT IS MY BABY FR FR. He treated her the best because he heard her truth, accepted it, and stood by it. He never doubted her, took care of her, and was kind. He knew the others were totally WRONG for how they treated her, but sadly, he had to stand by because those were his brothers. I feel like he should’ve pressed them more, but it’s clear he was doing the best he could with the situation. Kit was her personal cheerleader, always standing on business when it came to her. He showed up for her when no one else did, and that made him extra loveable.


[Rafe]

“I might have…�� He swallows. “I made a joke. About her sharing my bed. And she took it�� badly.��

“Because she doesn’t have a fucking bed of her own,�� I say finally. My voice feels hoarse. “Because she’s sleeping on a rock-solid floor every night, and you insinuated that she could �� what? Earn more by fucking you?��

Oh, Rafe definitely knew he messed up when he insinuated that she could get better treatment if she was with him. That was so degrading to her, and honestly, I was cringing for her in that moment. But, low-key, it ended up being a turning point. As messed up as it was, it pushed the others to treat her better. So, I guess it’s a win in the end, even if it came from a seriously wrong comment. Rafe might’ve said the wrong thing, but at least it sparked the change they needed to start respecting her. The thing with him is, he kept saying and doing the wrong things, and he felt like he had no real chance with her. He even encouraged Silas to make her prove herself because they didn’t trust her version of the truth. There were definitely moments where I was so disappointed in him, but then there were others where he actually showed up for her. And despite everything, when he got sick, she still took care of him—even when he did all that to her. She cared for him, even when she tried not to. Honestly, I hate that I love them both.

[Silas]

“Are you happy now, Silas?��

“I told you,�� I force out through the grip tightening around my throat. “I said that this would break her. And I was right.��

SILAS. He was so harsh on her. He hated her just because she left him in the past, even though he knew the truth—that she regretted what happened and made things right. He kicked her out with nothing and treated her so badly, but for what? What did she do to him? She was the one who was wronged, and he acted like she needed to be punished for it. Honestly, I feel like Stasi had every right to snap because of how he treated her. He was the one who pushed her away in the first place. 😔😕 I know he carried a lot of regret over the years, but that didn’t excuse how he treated her, especially when he was still angry about her not trusting him enough to tell him about her mom. What really frustrated me, though, was that he still needed to know the truth and didn’t believe her right away. I get that he wanted answers, but it hurt because she deserved so much better than that. And honestly? I’m lowkey mad because he was the one who got to marry her. POTATO POTATO. It should’ve been Kit!!!

─── �� ｡ﾟ��: OVERALL*.�� .*:☆ﾟ. ───

They were definitely mean, but honestly, the drama was good. I loved how, even though they were cruel at first, they came through to protect her when she really needed it. I can’t help it—I love a good damsel in distress trope. Don’t come for me! 😅 But seriously, the way they stepped up for her in the end was top tier. It hit all the right notes, and I was here for it.
