“You traitor. You said you loved me.”

“I know what I said.” He avoided eye contact.

“Was that a lie, Rider? Gosh, of course it was.”

“He's not my Dad. My mom married him when I was a kid.”

My feelings for him overpowered me every time. I loved him. I hated that I wanted him. But he was a lying bastard.

“Why are you doing this? Rider you're not a bad guy.”

“You think I wanted this! I was a kid when Julius sold my soul to punish my mom.”

I gasped. Julius was pure evil.
