Chapter 55: DEADLY GAMES — Prologue—Lukiyan

Fate or coincidence…

Sometimes I believe they are one and the same, but then the Universe corrects me and shows me they aren’t.

The night I met her was an example of that.

It had to be.

I refuse to believe the circumstances which led me to Persephone Vittorio could have been anything close to a coincidence.

When I first saw her, I was instantly in love.

I just never realized love had infected me until it dug its claws into my heart and ripped it from my chest, showing living proof that I’m still human.

At that moment, I understood perfectly why Hades did what he did.

So when my Persephone danced her way into my life, I decided she had to be mine, no matter the cost.

No matter the sacrifice.

No matter that stealing her from the light meant pulling her into my world of , death and darkness.

She was always going to be mine to keep.

Mine always.

Mine, whether she wanted to be or not….
