After the rebirth of the paranoid big man who loves me like my life, he cheated 99 times.

Damien Thorne, the ruthless underworld kingpin, confessed his love for the ninety-ninth time. And for the ninety-ninth time, I rejected him.

That very night, he drugged me and held me captive.

Damien's eyes were wild, possessive. He held me close, whispering his love over and over, a chilling litany.

I scoffed, my heart burning with hatred for him.

I managed to escape, barely, only to be kidnapped by his enemies.

To save me, Damien took three bullets.

The first shot crippled his arm. The second blinded an eye. The third stole his life.
