But families are supposed to stay together right? So through spilt blood and secrets and traitorous acts, surely even that can't stop DNA.

I knew that he was experienced and enjoyed his life, especially considering that he is three years my senior, but I was naive to think that he would ever love me like my papa loved my mama. I guess it's a good thing that I've grown up. It's an even better feeling to know I no longer have any fears. I will be the person that I want to. If that is my father's downfall, so be it. If it's Nicolas' downfall, that's even better. I'm a bad girl now. I'm out for blood. XO GP ♥ 1ST PLACE in ROMANCE | THE LEAL AWARDS
