KISS OF HIS BETRAYAL
“You think that was begging? That was me remembering the girl you broke. The girl who thought pain meant love. But she’s gone, Damon. Dead and buried beneath every scar you left on me.”
She steps closer, her voice rising— not trembling, but thunderous.
“Yes, I want revenge. I want you to feel what I felt— powerless, exposed, discarded. But don’t mistake my vulnerability for desire. You didn’t see lust in my eyes. You saw rage. You saw grief. You saw the ghost of the girl you destroyed.”
She rips her hand from his grip, eyes locked on his.
“And that ring? That man? That family? They’re not my escape. They’re my resurrection. You were my grave, Damon. He is my rebirth.”
