monster who had spent my whole life destroying me. “If you’re looking to trust me, Lilith, then you can trust this: I will never stop trying to force you to love me. I will push and bend you to my will until I’m the only thing you see and the only one you want. One day you will willingly be mine again. Until then, I will take whatever parts of you I can steal because I promised you forever, and forever starts today… whether you’re ready for it or not.”
