29 parts Ongoing MaturePierre Dupont-a wealthy, kindhearted merchant-grieves the loss of his beloved wife, Nicolette, who died giving birth to their twins. Consumed by sorrow, he drowns himself in alcohol, as one man watches with cold amusement-Gabriel d'Ernemont, Pierre's devoted valet. Or so Pierre believes.
Beneath the surface, Gabriel harbors a hatred so deep, so consuming, that every moment spent within Pierre's home is another step toward vengeance.
Pierre's suffering should be satisfying. But it isn't enough-not yet.
So Gabriel will become Pierre's lifeline, his only pillar of support. He will make Pierre trust him. Need him. Want him.
"...And when Pierre finally gives his body and heart to me, I will crush it with my own hands."
