Ward

That’s

That’s the thing about real-life villains; the clever ones know how to blend in.

All

All I know is that Aidan O’Rourke wants to have dinner with me, and for no comprehensible reason, I want to give him what he wants.

“Unless you want to lose that hand,” Aidan growls, “I strongly advise you let her go.”

“Not the sort of challenge you had in mind, little one?”

“I’m the man who’s been falling in love with you since day one.”

I am your God, little one, and don’t you dare forget it.

The day I met Aidan; my black-and-white world exploded into color.

“You've introduced me to the man I’ve become, little one,” he says. “And this new man wants to give you everything you deserve."

“I love you, too, Sir.”

My Grace. My love.
