I was sent to take down her father’s network.Instead, I watched her mother die—And let them take Charlie Bennett.I’m not her hero. I’m here to fucking burn for her.She was never supposed to matter.But the second I saw her, I stopped thinking like a soldier and started stalking like a man obsessed.She was fire and softness—too bright for someone like me.I tried to stay away.

Until they laid hands on her.Now there’s blood on my hands and her name carved into every breath.She thinks I left her.She doesn’t know I’d raze heaven just to touch her again.But Charlie isn’t the girl I lost.She’s darker now. Sharper. Vicious.They didn’t break her. They built a weapon.And I’m the reason she had to become it.When she finds out the truth, she’ll want to hate me.But I don’t just want her fury.I want her forgiveness.Her love. Her loyalty. Her future.Because without her?The monster wins.And I’ll burn the world before I let that happen. less
