When She Loves (The Fallen, #4)

by Gabrielle Sands

“You wanted that girl long before she got served to you on a silver platter.”

Do not fucking touch what’s mine. It’s what I said to Ludovico right before I killed him, although Cleo was far from mine when I saw the bastard trying to force himself on her.

The moment Cleo takes on my last name, she becomes mine, and disrespect against her is disrespect against me.

“How do you know the ideal wife in my head looks any different from you?”

“Cleo, when I look at you, I see the entire universe. It took losing you for me to understand that you are everything to me. There might have been a ‘before’ you, but there is no ‘after’. I can’t function without you. I can’t sleep, I can’t think, I can barely fucking breathe. Without you, I exist in a horrible dark place that’s devoid of everything that makes life worth living. Please come back to me. I love you.”
