Chapter 10

God, she’s so fucking perfect. She looked so stunning in her dress. Even when she was shaking and crying with a mixture of fear and relief.

It’s amazing how quickly my emotions can change where she’s concerned. One minute, she’s taking my breath away as she arrives at the dance, a vision in black satin.

The next, my whole body is shaking with rage, knowing that she chose that dress for him.

Him. Not me.

I want to kill him.

But slowly.

First, I need to remove every part of him that has touched her. His lips. His tongue.

Lucky for him, he’ll get to keep his cock.

My Cora’s a good girl. She hasn’t gone there with him. Yet.

She’s desperate enough, but she’s cautious too. I want to believe that she can sense it…his wrongness. But I think my girl is still lost in the fog.

She needs a monster like me to lead her to the light, so that I can guide her into the right kind of darkness. My darkness. Where she’ll reign by my side for all eternity.
