In Deep — Kella McKinnon

“I never thought it would go this far… that a man with such terrible secrets would steal my heart and make me want him so much, when his life of danger and lies should have made me want nothing more than to turn and run. I understood him, you see. I knew that beneath all of that money and power, and yes… violence, was a man in desperate need of love. So desperate that he took from me something I wasn't ready to give: my future.” -Brielle “I was only living for one thing, one goal, one endgame…until I saw Brielle. And when I touched her, it was all over for me, I just didn't know it yet. Yeah, what I did to her was unforgivable. I know that now. Some part of me knew it then, too, but it didn't matter. I had to hold on to her. I would have done anything to keep her… And I did. I'm probably a little messed up in the head. How could I not be, after the life I've led? Letting her go would be the right thing to do… but every time I try to do the right thing, I can't. I'm in too deep.” -Cristos
