Falling for the Devil

Obsession has never looked so tempting.

"You think you know me, don't you?
You see the suits, the power, the cold indifference I wear like amor. But you don't. You don't see the truth beneath all of that. You don't know how I watch you when you're not looking. How I crave the way you breathe, the way your hands tremble when I'm near. You're not like the others, Em. You never were.

I see you-really see you-more than anyone ever has. You think you're in control, don't you? You think you can keep your distance, keep me at arm's length. But you don't understand. I've never been good at following rules. Especially when it comes to you.

You think you can just walk away from me. That I'll let you go as easily as you came into my life. But here's the thing, Em-I'm not the type of man you walk away from. You won't escape me, not the way you think. Not even when you try to.

You don't realize what you're doing to me. With every glance, every smile, every time you pull away , you're pulling me deeper into this. Into YOU. And I-" he pauses, a dark smile forming on his lips "I'm not just going to let it go. You're mine now. Maybe you don't understand that yet, but I'll make sure you do.

You say you don't want me. But deep down, I know better. You can try to fight it. Hell, you probably will. But the truth is, you're already in this. You're already tangled up in me. And there's no way out.

So don't waste your time trying to push me away. You'll fall. You'll fall for me, whether you want to or not. And when you do, you'll finally understand just how much I need you. Just how far I'm willing to go to make you mine.

You will be mine, Emerald. That's not a promise. That's a fact."
