Elude: 6

Twenty-Four hours before we were to be married – I offered to shoot her. Ten hours before our wedding – I made a mockery of her dying wish. Five hours before we were going to say our vows – I promised I’d never love her. One hour before I said I do – I vowed I’d never shed a tear over her death. But the minute we were pronounced man and wife – I knew. I’d only use my gun to protect her. I’d give my life for hers. I’d cry. And I would, most definitely, lose my heart, to a dying girl – -a girl who by all accounts should have never been mine in the first place. I always believed the mafia would be my endgame – where I’d lose my heart, while it claimed my soul. I could have never imagined. It would be my redemption. Or the beginning of something beautiful. The beginning of her. The end of us. —- ISBN: 9781514210666
