Emotion is not an option in my world. Feeling anything at all could mean death.
Control is how I've survived. How I've become the mafia enforcer other men fear.
I don't ask, I take.
I don't request, I command.
But the moment I heard Evelyn play, my restraint morphed into obsession
One perfect woman. One haunting melody. One reckless decision.
I snatched her from a world of spotlights and locked her deep in my shadows.
Told her, myself, my capo that it was for her protection. A necessary evil.
The lie tastes bitter even as I repeat it.
Because the truth is more vicious, more consuming.
All the while I can't keep my blood-stained hands off her soft skin
Can't keep my ravenous eyes from her lush curves.
I recognize in her the same captive soul yearning to soar beyond its confines.
I want to be the one to set her free. The one who owns that freedom.
