Vander
It was raining on the day I fell in love. I used to scoff at the notion. I certainly didn't believe in it. It wasn't for monsters like me.
Then I laid eyes on her.
A goddess with a heart-shaped face and royal blue eyes. Fiery red hair and a freckle on her lip.
Mine.
I knew it. The same way I knew tides moved with the moon, and birds always flew south. But the future I plotted shattered before it even had a chance to set.
The diamond on her finger casting a shadow over it. The man at her side the only one I wouldn't destroy to have her.
My brother; head of our criminal syndicate.
I had no choice; I let her go.

Seven years after I said my marriage vows. I'm alone. Wife to a murdered husband. Mother to a child never born. Stuck in a world of criminals I didn't belong in.
I want out. I want my own life. More than anything, I want a child.
But when I seek my freedom from the new head of the criminal empire, my former brother-in-law, I'm given a different option.
Sell myself. Vow myself to him. It's not a way out, but it's the only way I can have what I truly want.
I survived one monster; I can survive another.
