Fierce Monarch

I've been betrayed by a person I let inside my life in every possible way.

The pain is unbearable, not just because of what he means-meant-to me, but because now I've got a huge damn target on my back.

Almost as big as the hole in my heart.

Every mafia leader in the city sees this betrayal as a sign of my weakness and they can't wait to use it to their advantage.

My back is to a wall that is crumbling more every second and the men I need most are struggling just to stay alive.

I'll have to align with the unthinkable to survive-as secrets I thought were buried deep start rising to the surface.

And it turns out the truth I thought I knew...might not be true at all.
