Prologue

"Tesoro, quando invecchi, trova una donna di buon cuore che non lascia che le persone camminino su di lei Ti trovi una regina!" My mother told me as I held her hand while she took her last breath. ( Hunny when you get older find yourself a good kind hearted woman who doesn't let people walk all over her find yourself a queen!)

"Prometto mamma" I told my mom as i cried when I felt her give my hand one last squeeze it was then I knew she had finally left us. ( I promise mom)

             I looked at the people surrounding my mother seeing my three seven year old brother crying because he just lost his mom, then seeing my father loose all love in his eyes because his queen was just stolen from him. As a ten year old boy I would have done anything to take whatever pain my mother was feeling. Hell I would have even given my health for her to walk this earth. She was what kept this family together the glue that made everything stick. God took the most important women away from me so I have made a promise I will be as far from god as possible. I will be what he despised the most I will be the devil on earth and show the world what happens when you take whats rightfully mine!
