Our love was fresh and new but it was broken from the very beginning due to lies and secrets. I loved you even when I had no idea you were lying to me the entire time. Questions pondered in my head when I thought about the man I fell in love with. Was our love tainted from the very beginning or was I just so naive to believe the man I fell in love with could never hurt me.

My heart was beating rapidly against my chest as Eryx slid his tongue inside of my mouth. Rather than pull away from his passionate embrace, I welcomed his kisses with an urgent desire that had been lying dormant in the pit of my stomach since I moved to Fountain View five years prior. My conscience was urging me to pull away from him, reminding me of the trauma I had once endured while being with him. As if I had been suddenly struck by lightning, my eyes flutter open and I slightly push my way out of Eryx's embrace as my feet touch the ground again as I am trying to control my breathing. I slowly back away from him as he stares at me with lust still prominent in his midnight-colored eyes. "You are not supposed to be here", I manage to state as butterflies have found their way to the surface of my stomach, causing goosebumps to form, and my body begins to shake.

"Did you really think I would let you go? I have been searching for you since the night you left me", he states as he strides over to me as I begin to further walk away from him, putting distance in between us. I'm not sure if Eryx touches me again. My resolve will be strong enough to fight him off. He has always been my weakness as if he knows that I am struggling, he centers himself in front of me, caging me in with his strong, broad arms as his muscular chest makes contact with my chest. He places his hands against my face, lifting my face so I can look directly into his eyes. "I am taking you back home with me". I immediately shake my head defiantly. "No, I am not leaving my home to go back with you". Eryx suddenly looks sinister, his eyes have turned a darker hue and he firmly presses his hands against my waist.

"The longer you stand here fighting me, the more people I am going to kill in this town". I gasp and try to pull free from him but he has a firm grip, not allowing me to move. "You are a fucking lunatic. Every time you don't get your want you always result in wanting to kill someone". There was one of the reasons that influenced me to escape from Eryx so many years ago. I was truly afraid of the lifestyle I had become a part of. Being that violence was a prominent thing he constantly took part in being a mafia leader, it never settled well with me. Being that when I first met Eryx I had no idea who he truly was that he kept his identity hidden from me until it was too late.

Do you Eryx Antonio Vallea take Verena Amara Ashborne to be your wedded wife to have and to hold until you both shall part", I smiled back at Eryx as he stared back at me with love and admiration in his eyes. We were holding each other's hand as we waited for the officiant at the small chapel we had found here in Vegas to perform our wedding ceremony. I never imagined I would be getting married at 21 years old, but I met the love of my life one night while I was leaving the library where I spent long hours studying for the MCAT. I had dreams and aspirations of one day becoming a pediatrician. It took me by complete surprise when a stranger tried to rob me, holding me at gunpoint as tears streamed down my face, hoping my life would be spared somehow.

"Please don't kill me", I pleaded as the stranger wrapped his hands around my torso, keeping me from running, as a gun was pressed to the side of my head. "Shut the fuck up!!!"The male screams against me as one of his hands is tightening, gripping my forearm, which I am sure is bruised by now. Out of nowhere, I hear footsteps and then a gun explodes, causing me to scream loudly as my body drops to the ground, blood spills from under me. My entire body is shaking as blood spills down my hands. I am suddenly lifted from the ground and my eyes shift to look into a pair of midnight eyes. Holding me in his arms, is a rugged warrior, wearing a tailored fitted suit. I glance down and see no spec of blood can be found anywhere in his body. "What happened", I ask as the man carries me in his arms. "I handle the situation. You have nothing to worry about me. You are safe". I nod as I try to shift my head around to see what happened to the guy that held me at gunpoint, but the man holding shifts my attention back to him. "I wouldn't do that if I was you, sweetheart. No need for you to have a bloody body". I gasp and my eyes widen in fear.

The rugged warrior rubs my back as we walk down the street. A Buggati SUV sits in a vacant parking lot. Without any more words being exchanged between the stranger and I settled into the passenger seat while I watched him drive out of the parking lot. I have so many questions, but I'm unsure if any of them will be answered. I take in the rugged warrior features. His hair cropped low, his butter-pecan skin is covered in tattoos that are hidden away in his suit, but still catch a glimpse of a few covering his neck. Although he is seated he is still quite tall with his nearly touching the perimeter of the ceiling of the car. I am curious to know who this stranger who rescued me is. "Who are you?", I catch myself saying moments later. The stranger takes eyes away from the road and looks at me, which causes my heart to stir. The heat of his stare causes goosebumps to form on my skin, but I do not break eye contact with him. "Eryx".

Eryx leans his mouth against my ear, his arms nestled firmly against my waist. "You do whatever I tell you to do. You are coming back home with me". He then looks into my eyes to see if I will fight with him. Knowing what he is capable of I nod in agreement, making him believe that I will go back to Alphacrest with him. He takes hold of my hand and plants a kiss on it. "I have plans for you when we get back home", he then winks at me before he takes hold of my hand and we begin the long walk back to my home. From the outside looking in, we might look like a couple enjoying an evening walk, but it is far from that. Eryx, is a warden and I am his prisoner. I take notice of Arsenio leaning against a Ford pickup truck, without a second thought, I roll my eyes and groan. "I should have known it was you that found me". Arsenio smirks at my reaction to seeing him. "Nice to see you again, Verena". Arsenio grins as Eryx shakes his head at my response. Eryx does not let go of my hand as we walk back to my home. I grab for the keys in my jean pocket, but before I can unlock the door, Eryx snatches the keys out of my hand. "Allow me", he demands holding my house keys in his hands as he looks at me. I frown and motion for him to open the door. "Ladies first", he states as he waits for me to enter inside of my home. I watch as he enters inside of my home as I watch as his eyes observe every piece of furniture inside of my home before he looks back at me.

"I never would have imagined you to live in something like this", he states as he takes a seat on my white couch as he leans his back against the cushion and stares at me with my arms crossed. "It's a lot you do not know about me", I said back. Eryx frowns and then he lifts his shirt to reveal a scar sitting on the left side of his stomach. "Just like I didn't think my wife was capable of stabbing me". A grimace covers his face as he looks at me as if he is seeing me for the first time. I shrug my shoulders as I walk to my kitchen, opening one of the cabinets reaching for a wine glass. I pour myself a glass of Chardonnay as I feel Eryx press his body against mine, startling me. "What are you doing", I ask as I take a sip of my wine. He kisses the side of my neck, my back tenses trying not to give into his soft kisses that send tingles down my body.

"About to fuck the shit of my wife", he states before he takes hold of my wineglass and places it back on the kitchen counter before he lifts me in his arms and walks back into the living room. As soon as he places me on the couch, I try to make a run for it, but he lays his body on top of mine and kisses me hard and passionately. His tongue finds his way inside of his mouth as his hands slides down my body, before he manages to unzip my jeans, tugging them off my body. "I think we need to stop", I moan as Eryx pushes two of his large fingers inside of my wet pussy. My juices gush out and slide down my thighs. Eryx groans before he takes out one of his fingers now lubricated in my juices. I watch as he licks his fingers with my juices and moans. "You taste so sweet, just like how I remember".
