Contempt — Bethany-Kris

How much is too much?

Five years -- that was the deal. Renzo Zulla gave up five years of his life to repay a debt to an organization that only wanted to break him before they could make him. Their way, their rules. He doesn't move without their okay, even if his latest job puts him right in front of her. But the five years are almost up, and he knows exactly where he's going first.

Love doesn't follow rules …

Heartbroken and alone -- that's how she survives. Lucia Marcello is alive, but a part of her still feels dead without him. She's spent far too much time running away from her past and the pain she constantly holds tight because it's easier than hating the people who caused it. But life has a way of bringing you back when your heart never will.

Love doesn't fade …

But time means nothing, and forever might be only an illusion for them. Because where fate doesn't step in, reality does. If hate is a game you play with your heart, and contempt is the game you play with your mind … where does that leave love?

Vendettas don't care about love.
It's in God's hands now.
