Aurora
I’d endure the fiery pits of hell if it meant I could be with Connor. Although the sandy beaches and blue oceans surrounding us are far from that.
Even paradise can be torturous, though. Especially when you’re constantly looking over your shoulder, waiting for someone to storm your safe haven. Waiting for someone to steal your happiness.
When you’ve gone against not just one but two underworld families, you’re on
borrowed time. One week or one year… it doesn’t matter. Because I’d still choose us.
Connor
There won’t be a day I’m still breathing that I don’t fight for us. Fight for her.
Because the thought of something happening to her is unbearable.
They’re coming for me. I know it. Her family and mine. I’ve done the unthinkable, committed a crime even the underworld can’t overlook.
I don’t regret it, though. I’m always going to put her life above my own. I’d give
anything to give her the future she has planned for us, but I’d give even more to ensure she sees tomorrow. With or without me.
