"How could you conspire with them. I trusted you Layla!" He was really mad. "I didn't give them the code Damon, okay? I don't know how they got it?" She said. She strangely felt no nervousness or fear. Only the guilty felt fear. "Why didn't you tell me the truth about him? God! We've been dating for almost a year and you never told me he was a ex-convict", he said a shade quieter.

I never thought fairy tales could actually be real. But my belief that they weren't quickly came crashing down when I, Katherine Cain, met a man completely opposite of me; Virgo Dacien. You see, half of my face is a birthmark, making me look extremely different from everyone- ugly, as everyone preferred to say. Virgo on the other hand? His hair was black as night, his eyes the lightest shade of blue, with a chiseled, stubble covered jaw, and the most perfect teeth i'd ever seen. And he was outrageously strong..... and terrifyingly warm. Though, I can't complain much. His strength saved me from plummeting to my death and his heat warmed me from a chilled breeze. But little did I know, Virgo was much more than a man, but a beast, and he was about to drag me into a fantasy world filled with mythical fights, a rejected luna, and a target being placed on my back that everyone, myth and reality alike, wanted to take a shot at at any given chance. Will he be able to save me?

"You've come to kill me detective?",He whispered against her skin as he gently grasped her arm and turned her to him. Jude swallowed a gulp and looked up at him. His eyes were a cobalt shade of blue behind the mask, daring,cold and... terrifying. "And you've come to me to be killed?", She replied in a hushed tone, gathering a lot of nerve and taking a step closer to him. His eyes roamed over her, lingering on the curves of her body, the dress, before returning to her eyes. She didn't want to admit it to herself that she had developed a thing,some sort of feeling besides hate for him. The Maestro. The most dangerous man in New Haven. She had made it a habit, risking her life for a flicker of hope, clarity and some sort of peace. The memory of being against a wall,with the edge of his dagger at her throat and his body pressed against hers still lingered. He was devastating and she couldn't get him out of her head. She needed answers; to have some knowledge of what happened. Did he know? If she tried hard enough, could she get him right where she want and extract the information she needed? Or was she was just trying to fill the gaping hole in her heart? You're going to get yourself killed; the Lieutenant had said to her over and over. But it was a risk she was willing to take. Perhaps this was just another cruel twist the universe had in store for her. Jude thought she had gotten used to it but that was her just lying to herself. The universe wasn't cruel,it was brutal. And it was yet to show Jude what it had installed just for her.

Marisol Ríos estaba enferma; le quedaba poco tiempo de vida. Ese día tuvo una revelación: frente a la muerte, todo lo demás carecía de importancia. Su familia, egoísta y abusiva, que solo sabía aprovecharse de ella... ¡ya no los quería en su vida! Su prometido, David Peña, el mismo que acababa de pedirle matrimonio para luego involucrarse con su propia hermana, Lucía... ¡tampoco lo quería ya! Despojada de todo, por fin podía ser libre... Poco a poco, en su círculo social comenzaron a circular rumores sobre ella. Que Marisol se relacionaba con gente muy influyente. Que se le veía acompañada de hombres más jóvenes. Que su fortuna personal crecía sin parar y derrochaba dinero sin medida. Que Marisol... Tiempo después, cuando aquellos que la habían despreciado descubrieron su situación, uno tras otro, desesperados, le suplicaron llorando su perdón. Sus padres, con fingida dulzura: —Mi niña, tú siempre serás nuestra hija querida. Anda, regresa a casa con nosotros, ¿sí? Su ex prometido, el traidor: —Marisol, a la única que quiero es a ti, lo juro. Por favor, dame otra oportunidad. Pero ya era demasiado tarde. Un sujeto de semblante endurecido se interpuso. —Si alguien se atreve a molestar de nuevo a la señorita Ríos, le romperé las piernas. ... Tiempo después, ese caballero, una figura poderosa y casi inalcanzable, se arrodillaba ante ella. —Viva o muerta, Marisol, tú eres mía. Alonso Garza nunca se consideró a sí mismo una buena persona. Como cabeza de una de las familias más poderosas, había forjado su camino con decisiones implacables y una determinación férrea, labrándose una reputación temible.

La poca ternura que poseía, estaba reservada por completo para ella.
