ELION

I blamed Lorreta for the lie that sent me to prison. For weeks I've told myself that she is nothing but a contract I was getting too close to

A variable. A means to an end. My long awaited revenge

I lied

The cruelest, most wicked lie is the one I've been telling myself ever since she set foot in my penthouse. Because the moment they told me she was missing, something important was ripped right out of my chest. In that singular moment, I didn't care about the days I spent in prison, that was the past

I didn't care about the Vortex anymore, not even the revenge...
