Devoted to the Dark

Dark deeds. Betrayal. Blood.

All at the hands of the woman I love and can no longer trust.

She’s shown her cards and her loyalties lie with her family.

My enemy.

I’ll destroy her if I have to.

Because only one of us can walk away from this.

Her father has put a hit out on me.

He doesn’t know who he’s messing with.

I’ll bury as many as I must.

My desire for revenge is as white hot as my lust.

Damn her.

She’s everything.

And me?

I’m the devil holding her hand and leading her straight into the flames.

Elisa

I’ve been given a terrible task.

If I succeed, the only person who has ever loved me will hate me.

I should let him.

He’s hurt me enough.

But the desire I feel for him is powerful.

He leads me to places my heart has never gone.

I have to stay focused.

If I falter, I’ll be giving my father what he really wants.

A reason to finally put me six feet under.

Not even my wicked lover can save me from that fate.

We are destined to hurt each other.

There are no winners here.

I do what I must for my family, my survival, and my legacy.

There is no love here for me.
