"When you hate someone, just know that you will try to do everything to end them, when they hurt you, you're gonna break them. That's how life works, if you wanna survive, you have to chase, or they'll mistook you as a prey." Crook said.
"When you harbor that deep-seated hatred, it's like a fire burning inside you, consuming every thought, every action," Crook mused, his voice low and ominous.
"You see, revenge becomes your only language, your every move calculated to bring about their downfall. It's a cold, cruel world out there, Jane. Survival means playing the game, hunting instead of being hunted," Crook explained, his words dripping with a chilling truth.
"And when the pain becomes unbearable, when betrayal cuts deep, your instincts kick in. Your mind races ahead, trying to shield your heart from the impending storm, a battle between logic and emotion," Crook revealed, his demeanor a mix of calculated strategy and hidden vulnerability.
"When they try to hurt you, you wanna break them, when they hate you, you hate them, and when you hate them you're gonna end them."
"When he hurt me I ran away, because my mind knew something my heart didn't want to proceed..."

"Sometimes, the truth can be a painful storm, but in this tale, the truth will be the gentle wind that guides everything back to harmony. How? Keep journeying through the story to unveil how the power of truth can mend what once seemed broken."
I was so damn naive it's no wonder I've ended up here. Kidnapped by the man who promised me forever, just as I'd begun to understand the depths of his betrayal.
It's a sad truth I didn't marry my husband for love. I married him for the life he promised to provide, and if I'm honest with myself, I married him in hopes one day he'd fill the void Lucas-my first love-left behind.
Now after so many years, they're both back. And in my desperation to feel loved, to be wanted and chosen I've walked straight into this trap. All because I forgot life's harshest lesson...
I'm not enough. No matter how much or how fiercely I love, the choice will never be me.
Especially now.
Surrounded by danger and at the mercy of my husband's enemies, I'm forced to face one final bit of truth.
Much like love, hope is for the weak.
I was a fool to believe in the vows and promises they made.
