By Jolie Damman

"Even if it means I'll never be the man you give yourself to, I'll always do anything to protect you."

 

Natalie

 

He was half shadow, every muscle on his torso flowing from light to dark.

A living work of art, everything about him tempting me day and night.

Every move gave away his strength, locking me to his destiny…

One day, dad handed my life over to him.

I now belonged to his desires, and he had no mercy for women who didn't obey him.

Marat was nefarious, immoral, and vicious.

But despite those things, I fell in love…

Because I needed him as much as he needed me.

Even if he didn't want to admit it initially.

 

It was alright, though. I knew he would soon…

 

Marat

 

She stole my heart the moment my eyes landed on her.

Her angelic face was devoid of imperfections.

She was so small, and yet, my knees weakened whenever she spoke.

Her father trusted her with me.

And I swore on my life that she would be happy.

Nothing and no one could ever hurt her. It was my promise.

When she said yes, the ring glistened enchantingly on her finger…

She was ready for our new life together.

A life outside of her comfort zone, where she didn't even speak the language…

 

But that was okay. She had more than enough time to learn…
