Loving him was madness, a weakness, but without him the darkness threatened to swallow me whole. I was becoming something else in his arms—stronger, sharper, but also… his. And once you belong to Rafael, there is no way back. RAFAEL She ran. She lied. She betrayed. And yet, I could not let her go.

They didn't see what I saw—the fighter, the survivor, the woman who carried scars deeper than my own. She didn't understand yet, but every time she defied me, every time she broke down and let me hold her, she wasn't slipping away from me. She was binding herself to me, forever.
