But you don’t always have to commit murder to kill someone. You just have to plant a few seeds…and wait for them to bloom.
I’m tired of the man I love using me for his own needs and then tossing me away like garbage.
“I suggest you both stop talking about my fiancée like she’s not standing right in front of you,”
“No, you don’t. You hate how much you love me.”
“Fuck. I love you so much, Eden.”
“Such a shame this little cunt of yours will never taste as sweet as it used to.”
“I'll fix you, just like I always do.”
He’s like poison pumping through my system. The more I absorb him, the sicker I get.
“On second thought, save it. Every word out of your mouth has been a lie. Why would this be any different?”
“Not every word.”
“That’s because you were receiving double the recommended dose.”
“Only, no one ever caught on because your mother
was prescribed the same medication you were but got it filled at a different p...

She turned you into a zoned-out zombie on purpose.”
“Cain didn’t help you, Eden. He just wanted you to think he did.”
“Cain paid me to provide one on one support to his stepdaughter. However, he had very specific rules I had to abide by.”
“He’d developed an unhealthy fascination with her and that’s putting it mildly. My job was to convince Eden she couldn’t be without him by using her anxiety disorder against her
and making her agoraphob...

“Sometimes people do shitty things we have no control over, and we excuse it because we love them.”
“But that’s not a reflection of you. Her problems were
just that…hers. You don’t have to keep maki...

I want Cain Carter to burn.
“If you’re worried
about me catching feelings...don’t. The only thing I feel right now is anger.”
“This is mine while you’re with me.”

I don’t know what this pull is between us and I don’t care. All I know is the second Cain broke my heart for the very last time—Damien came riding in on his dark horse, offering
to teach me how to build a stronger one.
“My mouth will be here later.”
“Remember that if you need something to ease your jitters.”
I didn’t loan him Eden to fix her. I loaned her so he can see what he’s partially responsible for.
“Please welcome your new candidate—Damien King.”
I thought he came back to taunt and provoke me. At worst, threaten to tell Eden the truth, and hell—maybe even try to kill me. Not actually try to take my life and make it his.
His obsession with me and the pedestal he keeps me on will always be his biggest accomplishment. Jesus Christ. I should have killed him when I had the chance.
This isn’t like Eden. She’s slipping farther away with every second that passes. And it’s all Damien’s fault.
Fear coils my insides when she doesn’t respond. I can’t live without her. I won’t. I’ll kill her before I ever let Damien, or any other man, destroy what’s mine. He doesn’t get my Eden.
“Did you fuck Damien today? Is that why you can’t come? Perhaps I should shove my fist inside you and see if you feel anything then.”
“He could tell everyone my secrets, Eden. I can’t risk it.” “Then I’ll be your eyes and ears. If I sense he’s about to pull a fast one on you again, I’ll let you know ahead of time.”
I suppose if Eden wants to know why I murdered my family…and her mother, it would give me enough of a warning that Damien’s about to spill the beans.
“By the way…your dress.”
“What about it?” “It makes you look like the town whore.”
“He hit you and you looked me right in the motherfucking eyes and told me you walked into a door. Fuck your bigger picture and fuck your excuses, Eden. You lied to protect someone other than
yourself, which means you haven’t learned a damn thing.”
“Sometimes what we dislike in others is the very same thing we loathe in ourselves.”
“I’ll let you fuck me whenever you want if you arrest Damien King on polling day.” “Oh, hell.”
