A sob tears from my throat, because I know, I just know that I lost a part of Adrian tonight. The part I fell in love with.
“Understand this, Lia. I might not hurt you, might not fucking kill you, even though you deserve it, but I’ll find that bastard, and when I do, I’ll fuck you in front of him before I slice his fucking throat.
