A pawn in the game

"You want to know what hurt me to most? The fact you acted like you cared. You acted like you loved me. You acted like I was valuable in your life. All to win that stupid game. I loved you day in and day out. I trusted you. But, all I ever was, was a stupid pawn in your game. A fucking game you lied about every day. This is all my fault because... I loved you more than I trusted, cared, or loved anyone else."

Beverly hated him the moment she met him. He was rude, arrogant, disrespectful, horny, everything she hated. However, he wanted her. To protect their family, she promised to love him. However, she never planned to love him more than herself.

Blake the arrogant, rude, selfish mafia leader loved her the moment he laid eyes on her. She was everything he wanted. Perky juicy lips, little waist, gorgeous smile, so full of life. The perfect pawn to ruin and use to his advantage.

Blake was the leader and ruler over the mafia. He couldn't let some new girl take over his life, no matter how much he loved her. That's the one promise be made himself "the family comes first, over everything."

Was it too late?
Did he love her enough to put "the family" second
