Slaying the Mob

This life no longer owns me. Only she does. Max This life. It's a game, a very dangerous game where the losers always pay with their lives.

To win big, you have to take risks.

I always played to win because I had nothing to lose.

Until the game changed, and the stakes became too high.

I finally had something...someone...to keep safe.

But winning big meant I could have it all.

So I took a final risk to secure my future with Sloane.

I wanted it all, and it was finally within reach.

I broke the code.

I violated trust.

I lost focus...

And the one I vowed to always love and protect. Sloane I let myself fall in love with a monster.

And even though his soul is black as death, his heart is pure.

But only I can see it.

I was warned to stay away from Max Oriani, that I'd become a target, that I'd be...

Taken.

Or worse.

But the nightmare of living without him would be torture of the worst kind.

So I didn't listen.

I gave him everything I have.

And now I have to pay the price...

If I have any hopes of seeing him again.
