Midway of Darkness

Edward decides to leave the romance scamming business, but at what cost and who's lives are impacted when he makes the decision?

 

It relieves him she is back, but he's furious as he examines her. There are red marks on her wrists and ankles where she was bound, and she has several bruises. She had to have put up a struggle because her wrists and ankles are cut from the restraints. Edward can't leave her like this. He strips off her dirty clothes and checks her private areas and panties, searching for evidence of a sexual assault. Thank goodness I know them so well, he thinks. He finds nothing. 

 

Jennifer makes plans for the future with Edward, but is Edward strong enough to embrace the light of Jennifer's world and join her?

 

"Then there's you, Edward. You have lived in the darkness all your life, always having to be someone else, not who you really were. You did terrible things that hurt a lot of women and you used women. You spent an ungodly amount of money on whores and strangers hoping for something, but you didn't know what. You never knew love, or intimacy, or passion. All you ever knew was sex, sex, and more sex. So when Jennifer gave herself to you, and you had that love, passion, and intimacy, you enjoyed it, and then you decided you didn't deserve it, Anne says."

 

Success or failure?

 

Future with Jennifer or the darkness?
