Ruby Tears

“I met a man I hoped could be the one. But he turned out to be the beast who ruins me…” I’m the illegitimate son of a monster. I truly have the devil inside. I try to be good. To ignore the deep, dark, despicable urges. But every day, it gets harder. To prove to myself that I’m not completely damned, I attempt to infiltrate a trafficking ring to save all those trapped within it. Only problem is, I meet her on the night of my initiation. I’m given a task to take her, steal her, train her. She sparkles like diamonds, bleeds like rubies, and bruises as deep as emeralds. She’s mine to break. I can’t refuse. I beg her to play along with me. To help me stay human. To act with me in a performance where we both might survive. Yet the more we pretend, the more real it becomes, and I have a horrible feeling the only one who will be breaking…is me.
