Bound by Vengeance (Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles, #5)

by Cora Reilly

I was her punishment, a fate worse than death, a way to deliver the ultimate punishment to her father who had displeased them so greatly.

‘How could you lose yourself if you never had the chance to find yourself?’.

Betrayal came in so many shapes and forms. Sometimes it was a purposeful act, and sometimes it was something you let happen.

His head had to be an incredibly exciting place considering how much time he spent there.

“I told you, what he’s done to me made me who I am. I would not be here without him. I would not be here with you without him. He gave me you and that’s more than I ever hoped for.”

I was like a moth drawn to her light. The only light that had ever penetrated the darkness that was me and my life.

“But I’m not as valuable as that piece around your wrist.” “You are worth more than anything I’ve ever owned or will ever own.”

“Yes, she is. She’s worth more than you and I. She’ll be worth losing everything for.”

“Now I’m fucking scared to lose all that, to lose you. I never knew I needed you but now I can’t imagine being without you. I…I love you, Cara.”
