Heir Of Deceit

Rule number one, always answer your phone.

Rule number two, never speak until spoken to.

Rule number three, address him only as sir.

All my life I've been told to keep my head down, follow the rules, stick to the shadows and never show weakness.

Rules don't always keep us safe, a lesson I've come to learn. No one is safe regardless of those rules. The only way to do that is to never bring someone into this dark world, which is why I'm fine being single. That was until I met a stubborn chocolate-doe-eyed woman who knocked me off my feet. She was exactly what I needed and no matter how hard I fought her she pushed back ten times harder.

Can I keep her light when my life is nothing but darkness?
