Empire of Hate (Empire, #3)

by Rina Kent

“Tell me you’re mine, Nicole,” he groans against my lips. “I’m yours.” The words are the easiest I’ve ever said. “Only mine?” “Only yours.”

“I stepped on my pride to love you. I crushed my bleeding heart, then gave it to you. All I wanted was for you to see me, to not make me invisible. All I wished for was a tiny piece of your heart, a sliver of your attention, but you never gave me that. You never fought for me as I fought for you!”

:(

“I’m done with you. I’m done with your cowardice, with my unrequited feelings. I’m done, Daniel. So please, let me go. Please let me be free. Let me breathe air where you don’t exist.”

It was so painful to watch Nicole pine after Daniel

I finally grieve myself.

It’s hard to hate you and even harder to forget you, but loving you was the easiest thing that I’ve ever done. It was natural, inevitable, and fucking infinite.”
