HOPE

Everything hollowed out.

I was just a dead soul trapped in a woman’s body.

Fate and god played with me cruelly.

When those hands of demons held me like chains, trying to restrain me, that one man gave me a weapon to cut off those shackles.

Seth Maddox.

A killer. A gangster. A man with no morals.

He is everything I should stay away from. And I did.

But my past dragged him to me.

I fell in the hands of a worse than a monster.

I don’t think I’ll survive him or the depravity around me trying to swallow me whole.

SETH

Wanting to strangle her was the first thing I thought of when I saw her. 

But that defiance and the double life she lived got me hooked.

I was intrigued. 

Enough to make my own life a second priority.

Enough to set everything on fire.

Then, she vanished.

When I found her, she was dead internally.

Hope Leclair was not a woman who would bend for others. But she had been broken.

When I thought everything was fine, but things started to fall apart.

Bullets. Corpses. Chaos.

I had to survive the fallout.

For the people who trusted me.
