Innocence

This a world filled with gruel and disgust, only those who don't turn a blind eye to it sees it. You make your mark & you take your place leaving those who are weak cowering in fear.

your soul has to be tough to understand this life as its filled with pain and agony. You are to be cold, cruel, heartless, a monster.

A murderer.

And that's who Valentin Mikhailov was. number one Russian mafia leader in Chicago, Fear by all who knows of him. He lives in the shadows and hes void of all emotions. Until he met her.

She was supposed to be scared of him but she wasn't. he wasn't supposed to feel for her.. but he did. now its a matter of life and death.

And she was now his only vulnerability.

His one weakness.

"YOU PROMISED YOU WOULDN'T HURT ME, YOU LIED YOU'RE A COLD SICK LIAR" I yelled at him tears soaking my face as my whole body trembled from pain and rage, leaving the chains to rattle under me.

"I promised you safety. I never said from who. And I most certainly did not lie." His face cold and hard as ever, icy grey eyes staring down at me. He didn't say another word a she turned on his heel and locked the door shut leaving me in the dark and cold room.

I sank into the stone chamber not knowing what else to do, my heart hurting and my pride crushed.

God please help me.
