Monsters
don’t often look like monsters on the outside.
Forced to
marry a man I should hate, I’m now bound to Damian.
I sometimes
wonder what he sees when he looks at me. Deer in headlights, I guess.
What I see
is clear.
Darkness.
Desire.
Carnal
want.
A man with
too much experience.
The night
he took me he told me I belong to him. He proved it on our wedding night. And I
believe him when he says he’ll keep me safe. He won’t let anyone touch what’s
his.
But I can’t
forget what he is. Can’t forget the things he’s done.
And no
matter what, I can’t let myself fall in love with him.
I look up at Damian. Beautiful Damian.
He shifts his gaze to mine.
“Didn’t I tell you to leave the locked doors alone?” he asks me, but his voice is strange. Echoing in this dusty, forgotten place.
The music starts again. That eerie sound of piano keys played slowly, so fitting to this place, this room, this house.
My head is spinning.
The other man, Damian’s brother, says something. His voice is similar to Damian’s but off. Like his face. Wrong.
Damian tucks hair behind my ear.
I push his hand away, push his arms away. I turn slowly. They’re both watching me now, waiting to see what I’ll do.
And the tune keeps playing, the chords slow. Sad.
I need to look at him.
Can they hear my heartbeat? Blood beats like a drum against my ears.
Run.
Run.
But I can’t run. I meet a monster at every turn. One standing behind me. The other holding me.
He warned me about the monsters. How many more hide in this house?
“Cristina,” Damian says.
I keep turning, my body still pressed to Damian’s.
I’ve taken shelter in my enemy’s arms.
He’s in my periphery now. The monster. The brother. Tall, like Damian. I see the coat. It’s wet. He was the man walking back toward the house. It wasn’t Damian at all. What is out there that they go to see in the dead of night?

Dammmmmnnnn!
This was one chest squeezing, knuckle-whitening, moment after another
A couple of things I saw coming but the ultimate revenge???
Never even crossed my mind as a possibility
I knew in the first book that Damian was catching feelings for Christina. I just couldn't see where or how he was going to be given a chance to expand on those feelings. Not only was his family a problem let us not forget the circumstances surrounding her "arrival" - You kidnap her, inform her for that the next 365 days she is going to be your toy and at the end, you are going to toss her lifeless body in the trash. - Not words that instill trust. He is so warped that even his attempts at affection are muddied and slightly brutal.
Christina is confused and I can't blame her. Each family member approaches her like they are there for her, her ally, the one to trust in this nightmare of revenge they have thrust her into, all except the sperm donor, you know that man loathes her with a passion. Don't forget the uncle that slime ball gives me the heebie-jeebies. Lost and not sure if she can trust her own emotions she decides to accept a little from each -
The idea was smart, the execution? Not so much
There was so much betrayal in this finale. I wasn't sure how they were going to get their HEA. So much damage between them.
They did eventually get it but it was at a pretty hefty price.
Before I forget
I am curious about what happened to the doc? Anyone?
