Page 68 of Bound By Ruin
The knife in my hand is still hot from Goldie’s touch.It’s been passed down from generation to generation in my family.It being the weapon my curse of ruin uses to finally wipe out the last man standing in our line would’ve been poetic.Especially when wielded by the only woman I’ve ever loved.
But she would’ve dropped it on her own before stabbing me with it.I saw the truth of that in her eyes.
It’s not enough.
Tomorrow, the war begins.
And it doesn’t end until Dante Moretti and all those he cares for are dead.
Like I told her, nothing will stand in my way of getting revenge for what happened to my family now.Not even her.
Love has no place in the world we’re entering now.
Especially not love that wields knives and plots my death in the dark and in my own bed.
As much as I want her, as much as I need her, my family needs me more now.
But after I win this war, I’ll gladly give Goldie my life.
