I remember the first time we kissed, when we made love and we knew that we were destined for one another. I was born to love her. I was trained to protect her. Now I will die for her, and it will be the greatest honor. Shadows begin to creep around me, cold and thick, wrapping around me like a second skin. They rise from the ground, curl around my limbs, and drag me down. I cannot fight them. I have nothing left. In my delirium, I wonder if they’re real, or if this is what everyone envisions with they die. Death comes for all of us in the end, after all.

Am I just a gullible young woman who just abandoned herself to a stranger? Love is supposedly blind, but I don't believe it to be more blind than I am. If a blind man can accurately play piano notes. I ponder how I can't notice the danger r

"Your father was an important Don. Probably one of the most powerful and influential that anyone has seen in a long time. Now he's dead, everyone is clawing at the leftovers.

Since people think you're dead, his shit is already being divided up along faction lines like they were carving a roast, and each one is hoarding their portion like a starving dog.” She remainded still, her expression not giving anything away.

"We weren't able to get anything important from him.
