Madness (L.O.R.D.S., #6)

by Shantel Tessier

“Talk to me, doll face. What happened…who did this to you?”

“Feeling anything is a weakness, darling. No one will take orders from a woman who cries.”

I’m so fucking proud of her right now. She was given an order and couldn’t follow through. Fuck, that’s my girl.

Allowing myself to fall in love with her is madness. No matter how I try to justify it, the ending will be the same. I can only hope I have time to leave her with something that will remind her of me.

“In a world where it’s either you or me…I’ll always choose you, doll face.”

“Yes, it’ll always be you. I love you,”

Just know that it was real for me, and I hope that one day you can forgive me, beautiful.

“We live in a world that’s kill or be killed. You just have to be the first one to pull the trigger.”

“I’m sorry, Charlotte. I couldn’t kill you. I love you.” I couldn’t do it. I know it’s the most cowardly thing I’ve ever done. But I just can’t let her go. It doesn’t matter what she’s been through; I’ll love her the same way and take care of her. She’s my wife. I took vows.
