Taming the War

"I want you out of my life."

"I'm afraid I can't do that, ma'am."

If there was one thing that could make her happier, it was to find it in herself to write again. Blair Montenegro knew from the moment her nightmares came back, so would the demons she tried to escape from. The memory of blood lingered at the back of her mind wherever she went, tainting her soul no matter how much she tried to get rid of it. The past she tried to run away from will always catch-up to her, and now that it did, there was no room for retaliation anymore.

Bounded deeply by his passion, Adam Lopez had the hands of red. Some say he was some sort of a killing machine for being ruthless while on the field. He still had a soul inside him, but it didn't mean it wasn't scarred. Attachment - it was one thing he loathed the most. In his profession, there was no room for unnecessary feelings. That was until he was given a mission to closely guard an inventor's daughter, and everything he believed of crumbled then on. He knew he'd break her at some point... but that never stopped him from wanting her even more.
