SAGE
TEN YEARS AGO…
I lie curledup on the floor, shaking and crying after the fight with my boyfriend Cameron.
He’s gone too far this time, just like one day I knew he inevitably would… I don’t think there is any turning back from this. I don’t see how there can be. I’m a mess.
This was different.
This time, he hit me… and more.
Then he walked out without a second glance, leaving me in a heap on the floor.
I can feel one side of my face swelling and blood trickling out of my nose.
Things have only gone from bad to worse.
I’ve lost track of time, as I have with most things these days.
I’ve been all consumed by Cam and his false promises.
The cracks were already appearing after moving in together.
I know I’ve been making excuses for his behavior and the way he’s been treating me, but this time, he went too far.
It’s not normal to turn into a beast during a petty argument. I don’t even recall what it was about.
With a shaky hand, I reach for my cell. I should call the police… the thought crosses my mind for a moment. But there’s someone else… someone I trust. Theonlyperson I trust.
Fynn Medici.
He might be a childhood friend as well as an old flame, but I trust him implicitly.
Even if we have a complicated history.
And while I know he’s going to be more than pissed about this situation, he’s the one person who can help me out of this mess.
I know Cam will come crawling back when he’s sober. He always does.
I didn’t mean it.
I wasn’t myself.
You make me crazy.
I love you.
It’s always the same story, but nothing ever changes. He’s shoved me before, and grabbed me hard, but he’s never punched me. And he’s never forced me.
I’ve realized I have a limit and today I reached it.
He’s become more brutal, and a little less predictable.
I scroll through my contacts, though I can feel my eye socket throbbing and my sight is fuzzy. Finding Fynn quickly, I take about half a second to think about if this is a good idea … since Fynn is part of Boston’s biggest crime family, The Medicis.
Angelo, his eldest brother, is the mob boss of this town and he rules this city.
