Kindle Notes & Highlights
“If I remind you so much of her, what makes you think you can consummate this marriage?”
“Tell me, Killian. Can you really sleep with me? Fuck the woman who reminds you of your broken heart?”
“You have no fucking idea what you are playing with. You will regret taunting me.”
“What else can I lose? I’ve lost my sister and my freedom. And now I’m stuck with a man who loathes the mere sight of me. You can’t hurt me because I’ve already reached my threshold of pain and misery. But keep trying, dear husband.”
Killian burned me on the spot with a single cutting glance. And my ashes laid at his feet.
“I will break you, Beasty.”
Pity was ugly to people like us, a poison without its remedy. We only wanted people to understand us.
I’m coming, Beasty. And your life will never be the same.
“Our fathers expect us to consummate this marriage,”
“I know.”
“The mere thought of touching you brings me disgust, but I will enjoy breaking you.”
His right hand came up. It brushed against my neck, almost tenderly, before he wrapped his fingers around m...

“You’ll refuse me while wearing my ring? My name is etched on your skin, Beasty.”
Falling in love is like the sunshine, But our moments are lost in time. Like a drowning lover, Yet again, I fall for thou, But thy heart yearns another.
“We have to be civil with each other,”
“Civil and in love,”
“There’s no love where there is hate,”
“There’s a fine line between love and hate, Killian.”
“Not for us.”

“Roses are beautiful, but their thorns can make you bleed,”
“You won’t bleed if you don’t mess with them. That’s why you don’t pluck roses. Leave them be and they’ll stay beautiful, without causing any lasting harm.”
“Some people are roses, Beasty. Some people are thorns. Here’s the thing, you can’t turn a thorn into a rose petal. A thorn is a thorn, beautiful but unpleasant and painful at the same time. They mingle with the roses, but never let the thorns get to you. For once you’re pricked, you bleed.”
“What can you do to me that has not already been done?”
“I am your karma,”
“I could tear you apart if...

“I’m in your soul, Beasty. I see you for who you are. A villain, my enemy – the reason behind my half-dead heart. I’ve made you weak; I’ve brought out your vulnerability and I’ve used it against you. But you’re so fucking naïve, still standing in front of me, with your stupid act, as if you’re strong. But you’re not, Julianna. I’ve seen the real you. The bleeding you. The you behind this veil, behind that façade, and you know who she is? A feeble creature with bones stained with sin, blood under her fingernails, and soulless eyes. I’m standing in the ashes of who you used to be, Beasty.”
“And you know what’s laughable?”
“I haven’t even started yet. Your life is mine. Call me a monster, but you’re the one with blood on her hands.”
Grasping her by the shoulders, I slammed her into the grassy walls of the labyrinth.
“You’re hurting me, you monster. Let me go!”
“Shut the fuck up!”
I roared, gripping her jaw before I slammed my mouth over hers, silencing her screams and swallowing down her cries. Right over the fucking veil. Julianna gasped and went completely rigid in my arms. Her lips parted under the veil and I could feel her soft fucking lips. Her breath was warm and her hollow eyes flared with… shock. My body pinned her up against the wall of the labyrinth, and her balled fists came to my shoulders, as if to push me away, but she didn’t. Her fingers dug into my muscles and Julianna whimpered under my lips, through the thin veil. I didn’t move. She didn’t either. The

I hope one day, you can find love again. The kind of love that makes you a soft person and the kind of love that makes you want to be a better man. You deserve a love that’s not stained with sins or ugly lies and horrible secrets.”
Getting shot fucking hurt. And Julianna could have seriously been injured. Worst, she could have…died. That gunshot would have been fatal to her if I hadn’t gotten to her in time. I didn’t know why that bothered me, when I could care less if she continued to breathe or not. But fuck, my body had acted against my will. The sudden and fierce need to protect her, I didn’t know where that came from. I blamed it on the adrenaline. I blamed it on the weakness of a moment.
“Who the fuck tried to kill my wife and why?”
I growled, fury burning through my veins. I was incensed. “You seem awfully caring for someone who claims he hates his wife,” Samuel drawled, almost mockingly. He handed me a glass of water and I quickly gulped it down before handing the glass back to him.
“I hate...

“Because she’s my wife.”
“I came into your life, bringing tragedy with me,”
I whispered.
