164 I WILL WAIT FOR YOU

KING

"Who's gonna save you or protect you from ME? I am not the person you think I am, Miss Maxwell. Just because you know some of my secrets doesn't mean you have discovered my every dark side. You have barely scratched a surface and there is unfathomable dark pit underneath it. If you try to trace it, it will drown you in its depth and then maybe I also will not be able to help you." I tried to knock some sense into her.

She stared at me, unblinking. "And what if I am willing to take that risk?"

"Why don't you get it through your head, Miss Maxwell? Anyone can use you as a bait to take me down as Mancini and Finochi did. I have many enemies who are thirsty for my blood. How you are going to be my strength when you have to fight with your own demons every night. How you are going to be my side when you are crying and begging for someone to take away the pain in your sleep?"
