________________
Like my name, my fate has been written in the stars with pain and loss biting away chunks of my soul till there is nothing left. Beaten and bruised emotionally and physically into a weapon desired by my family.

An heiress. A soulless heiress.

That's what I am, I would like to say that that's it but I'm also many other things. All of them bad. I'm a killer, a liar, and I'm fucking angry.

"Ara?"

A breath leaves me and the red hot anger burning in my chest starts to fade. I start to calm as my name falls from the lips of my salvation, Orion.
Not that he's ever going to know that.
