Chapter One
Chanel
Those eyes that are made in the depths of the woods stare back at me.
How could you not want those eyes on you in all aspects of life?
Even when it comes with the bad.
So, so much bad.
Hands touch me, and I feel it in my core.
Why is it the bad always feels so damn good?
It’s a trick.
One I willingly fall for every single damn time.
And I will keep falling.
Just like she did.
Unless…
“Mia per sempre.” There are those words again, whispered into my ear and sending shivers over every hair follicle of my body.
I hate him.
But I don’t.
“Mia per sempre.”
My hand moves to touch him, only I get nothing but air.
“What do we say when we are a good girl?” His breath tickles my face.
“Daddy.” Each side of his sinister mouth lifts into a smirk, and he nods in approval.
“That’s right, mia per sempre.” He reaches out like he’s going to touch my face, but his hands skirt around it. “Now, tell me, have you been a good girl?”
I bite the inside of my cheek.
And something pulls at the back of my head.
A memory.
What is it?
“I only reward those who have been good.” His voice sounds… strained.
“What…” My head starts shaking. What is he talking about? He rewards me and then punishes me. Doesn’t he? But I like his punishments.
“Mia per sempre.”
Again.
Why does he keep on saying that? What is wrong with him?
