Eliza-beth | Complete | unedited
This is an unedited first draft, which will soon go for major construction. Eliza-beth, where HIS secrets are revealed. Family breaks/unite, past is relived. Devil dies, heir rise, mafia politics...... After everything is at peace, at least I feel this way. After killing the man who destroyed my life, I find everyone played their part. They needed someone to put the blame and I was there with no one to defend me. So I paid the price of their mistakes. I lost my family, my life, my dreams but Karma is a bitch. Without doing anything, they all paid. But even after everything I loved them, I never wanted them to suffer but I can't fight with fate. Even with the mystery that my man in black hides. But I like to solve that mystery every day. "He said we were connected even before we born. I am his and he is mine. In this life and next life." (must read 'beth' to understand Eliza-beth) *Excerpt* "Valerio has his own issues." I snapped. "Calm down. You are behaving like a possessive woman." She tried to lighten my mood and laughed. But no....she failed. Because I didn't feel any humour in it. "I am a possessive Mrs ROGERS." I declared openly. "You are blind. Can't you see what he did?" She taunted me. "He's up to something...... Bigger. Heinous." She whispered.Complete
