He lit his cigarette, I lit nothing. He drank alcohol, I drank water. He smirked, I smiled. He didn't love me, I didn't love him. He and I together wouldn't last a day. And then the game started... He said he found me intriguing, unique, and interesting because I didn't swoon over him. "You and me Grey, let's play a game. We'll date and in three months time I promise you will fall for me. When you fall in love with me between that time span, I win. If in any way you were to win I'll give up all the alcohol, cigarettes, and player ways." It was a game I wasn't willing to lose, but all games had accidents and consequences. It takes a broken heart to know how to break a heart.

"Freaking out isn't my style. I've already danced with devil, and I'm still standing." He leans closer, his inked arms closing in. "So, you think you can handle whatever comes next?" I hold his gaze, flicking the ash from my cigarette. "Maybe. But I have a feeling you're going to make me forget what mercy felt like... you'll be the one to ruin me first." --- Mendacity: a rock band at the height of fame, power, and chaos, on their third world tour. Secrets darker than their lyrics linger in the shadows, following their every move.

As tensions rise and truths slip through the cracks, Mendacity's empire teeters on the edge of collapse. Fame may have been the dream, but survival is the only way out. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.
