"How could you ever love a monster like me?" his head hung low as he spoke. I lifted his chin with my hand and brought my lips close to his, pressing them softly in a gentle kiss. “I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul.” I whispered. Kara had everything she wanted, money, friends, cars, a beautiful house. For her, everything was as perfect as it could get. And then it all went to hell.

He was a criminal. He confused her more than anyone. How could someone so bad, so evil, make her feel safe, loved even? could she be falling in love with him? Could she ever leave? Would she want to? Can Beauty really change the Beast?
