The realization hit Alex like a cold shower. Damien. The enigmatic man he'd grown dangerously close to was the missing piece of the puzzle. The shadows that had always seemed to surround Damien were no longer ambiguous. They were the cloak of a killer.
The evidence was mounting. The same type of rose found at Anya's murder scene had been delivered to Damien's apartment on multiple occasions. A witness had placed Damien at the scene of another unsolved murder, a case with chilling similarities to Anya's. And then there was the undeniable fact that Damien had been involved with Anya, a relationship shrouded in secrecy and passion.
Betrayal was a bitter pill to swallow. The man Alex had grown to trust, the man he had developed feelings for, was a monster. A cold, calculating killer who had manipulated him from the start. Anger, disbelief, and a deep sense of betrayal consumed him.
But Alex was a detective. His emotions, no matter how intense, could not cloud his judgment. He had to focus, to find a way to bring Damien to justice. It would be a dangerous path, fraught with peril. But he was determined. For Anya, for the victims yet to be claimed, and for himself.
