Tale of the Lost Daughter

Sanity and Happiness are an impossible combination. ---- "You are mine, darling. I want everything about you, your heart, your soul, and your body. I want your undivided attention, smiles, thundering rage, and tears. Everything about you. I would do anything to keep you close; things which would even make monsters have nightmares," he husked, his warm breath fanning over her neck, sending shivers down her spine. Any sane woman would have run for her life the moment she saw his insanity, the desire pooling in his eyes, the possessive words he spoke. Instead, she leaned closer to him, brushing the untamed strands from his forehead and gently tucking them behind his ear. "As much as you are mine," she countered, her olive eyes gazing into his eyes. Her words made him smile. Just one more reason that made him fall deeper for her. He pulled her closer, placing a feathery kiss on the hollow of her neck. "Of course, my little one." --- Selena Knight-Mariano, a girl with a missing past, a rambling present, and an uncertain future.

Filled with twists and turns, "The Tale of the Lost Daughter" is a riveting slow-burn mafia romance/thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

Power

The most fucking addicting thing in this world.

The moment you taste it, you are damned. The moment you reach your high on the power; you never wish to come down from that ecstasy. Your mind spirals, adrenaline runs through your veins, and you think everyone is beneath you. Above all, you. That you are god.

And damn, it feels good.

Then, slowly, everything turns to normalcy, but you never seem to get enough of it.

You crave the sweet, sinful taste of power. The pleasure of having people on their knees pleading for your mercy. You, on the other hand, observe from above with a smirk. The thin line between right and wrong, good and bad- blurs gradually.

Everything becomes gray, and you do things to keep power within your grasp. Hideous things.

Unknowingly, you become a slave to the power.

Then everything comes crashing down.

And when you lose power, you realize that power is a bitch.

That it never belonged to you. You were high on it all the time, now that you are sober. Troubles are your nasty hangover.

Your power is now in the hands of someone else. You are nothing but a loser, somebody that has lost all morals. People who were on their knees for you are now the ones stabbing your back with knives.

In betrayal, you bleed.

You have a sardonic grin on your face as you approach death. You should curse no one but yourself for becoming such a fucking fool. The mind gets clouded by vengeance.

Second chance, what it pleads, what it deserves.
