"Welcome to your own personal hell darling," that's what she said, but did she believe it? Mastered to manipulate, finding a way back to normality was what she trying, but she got him instead, trying to leave her past behind, striving to believe, to trust, to love again.
She was the main character of his story, she was his Shana.
"Try not to burn yourself in there," that's what he replied with, he was the redemption she craved, and for him, she was the love he couldn't sacrifice, she brought a war along with her, daring him to step close, daring him to touch her and reimburse for it.
But the second he settled his eyes on her, he knew he was ruined, he was her idyll.
He was her Xavier.

But what happens when the devil side of both interacts first?
"No."
"Yes," I whispered, his lips tingling mine, eyes blazing even more at my defiance, with both outrage and yearning.
"There will be consequences," he whispered back, moving his lips and gently grazing the sweet spot he found with patience, I shuddered as I tilted my neck for him unpretentiously.
"Do I look like I care?" My voice was no more than a murmur when I tugged his hair to separate us, our lips brushing each other as I smirked at him and finally settled a soft kiss on his lips.
And when I slowly unraveled "I gave you something to handle while I go on my date, I consent you to imagine me while jerking off, darling," I knew, I knew that I was f*cked when I was abruptly pushed stomach first into the counter, his hand clasping my neck to keep any possibility of my moments to himself, I knew I was going to be f*cked, literally.

"We've been together for a year... Why didn't you tell me? Couldn't you have given me a heads up before the wedding? Couldn't you have said something like, 'Um Nia, I think you should know that my foster dad is a Drug Lord!'" she bellowed as she raked her hands through her hair. Her eyes getting darker by the minute.
"I wanted to protect you plus if I had told you that from the beginning would you have married me?"
"Hell no!" At least she was being honest. "Have you seen what you've caused? Dani may be dead and I was nearly killed. You- I can't- ugh!"
"Nia, baby I'm sorry... I never wanted you to get pulled into this. I love you and believe me when I say I won't let them hurt you... I know you have no right to believe me after what I've done...but please trust me to get you out of this."
