• happy reading, my lovlies •

Raindrops fall on the window sill, loudly. This day is giving the thirteen year old boy the chills. His mother is not back from the restaurant she works in, and his little brother is not crying and complaining as he is with the caretaker, thus spreading an ominous silence in the house.

The boy's mood elevates as the door is unlocked and his mother comes back with groceries. His mood soon drops back to what it was not moments back, when he sees his mother's eyes, red.

She's been crying.

"Mother, what is wrong?"

"Zachariah, listen to me my sweet boy. He is coming after me. They are coming after me. And if this door opens and men in black with guns come, promise me you will run. Run as far as you can, and don't look back."

"Mother, where is this coming from? We'll be alright. You will be alright. And who has found you? Tell me."

"Zachariah promise me. I can feel it in my bones. I can feel him here. Just promise me."

The boy, Zachariah, nods but the feeling grows. Like a massive malignant tumour.

"I promise." 

Just then the door is pushed open, and men in black with guns walk in. Wilhelmina Addington, pales, pushing her oldest son, she screams.

"Hello, Wilhelmina, he sends his goodbyes."

"Zachariah run. Find Jonathan, my son. Save your brother. I love you, my sweet boy."

The thirteen year old boy just stands for moments and then bolts out of the door, thinking he nearly escaped death. But he doesn't leave before seeing the man's eyes and memorising every recognisable feature.

He has not run far enough when gunshots fill the air. Wilhelmina Addington, his mother is now dead, and Zachariah Addington is officially an orphan.

Blue eyes fill the boys nightmares every day. And self hatred courses through his veins. It has been fifteen years and he has not found the man who killed his mother, or his baby brother. His father has found him. And the previously sweet boy leads the biggest mafia organisation the world has ever seen.

But the boy has evolved. Adapted. Fought with the cruel world. And has stopped feeling and started killing, mercilessly. Yet today he has the same feeling he had fifteen years ago, a dull ache in his heart, that just keeps growing. Little does he know, this feeling is going to make his life, not break it like it did fifteen years ago.

Zachariah Winchester is a beast, that cannot be tamed, until he has found the man that killed his mother and until he has found his long lost brother, Jonathan Addington.

And the question remains, will an innocent, sassy doctor, who cannot simply keep her thoughts to herself, manage to tame the beast?

Or will she, like the rest of them around him, burn to ashes and rise again, her identity completely lost in his darkest corners of his mind..
