Clarissa's P.O.V.
Nadia had prepared my appearance, but no one could prepare me mentally for what I would be walking into. There was nothing that could prepare me for that. Imagine waking up one morning expected for your day to be as typical as it always was, and in the blink of an eye, it's something else. I always thought of destiny as something we created for ourselves, but I have learned that destiny is also something that others can help create for you.
There was a time when I would have given anything to be that girl a man would do anything for. Right now though I wished I would have just been alone. I hated the fact that Antonio and the others were walking into a trap. There was no doubt in my mind that they were on their way or already here waiting to set me free. It was just a matter of time, and even though they were skilled warriors; no one is immune from death.
