Consumed by Deception (Deception Trilogy, #3)

by Rina Kent

I stole her and like any thief, I won’t return her. Lia is my addiction. My obsession. My love. Mine.

she slowly but surely has become an integral part of my life.

Now, I have to let her go for her own good. Because even though I need her in my life and crave the softness she brings to my ragged edges, I have apparently cut her too deep that I didn’t only reach the flesh, but I also severed tendons and veins.

No one touches Lia and lives. No fucking one.

I miss her. I miss my Lia, and the fact that she doesn’t remember me has been eating at my soul like the crashing waves that swallowed her that night.

“Not impossible, no. I’m merely possessive and have no control when it comes to you. I don’t like it when you speak of any other man.”

I meant what I told Kolya earlier, Lia is worth failing my system, digging my own grave, and putting myself in this unfavorable position. I would do it all over again if it means having her.

“Then don’t say you’ll leave me again. You’re my last stop and I plan to stay, not move on.” “You’re my last stop, too.”

“I am. Everything you mentioned is scary, but none of it terrifies me as much as the thought of losing you. As long as we’re together, I can get through anything.”

“Believe me, I would if I could. If it were up to me, I would’ve worshipped you away from onlookers, where you’re safe, but you’re not happy with only that anymore, and I would never drive you to the edge of a cliff again, Lenochka.”

“Because you’re my wife and I’d rather die a thousand times over than put you in danger.”

I’m done treating my wife like a stranger when she’s always been the only person who mattered in a room full of people.

“I’m sorry for making you feel bad when I should’ve done the opposite.

“I love you, Mr. Volkov.” “I love you, Mrs. Volkov.”
