Surrogate for My Mafia Ex
Harper’s POV
My vision begins to blur at the edges, the grand, dimly lit corridor of the Crystal Theatre tilting on its axis as I watch the dark crimson stream of blood trail down Stephon’s pale chin. His shirt is completely soaked, the heavy fabric dripping liquid onto the polished stone floorboards with a soft, rhythmic patter. The thick, unmistakable stench of copper and stomach acid fills my nostrils, suffocating me. My knees go dangerously weak, my balance slipping, and I have to violently throw my hand out against the wall to brace myself.
