This shadow always follows his Sunshine. Her life is a carefully crafted lie. For years, I only watch my Sunshine from the shadows; my loyalty to the Bellandis demands nothing less. When her husband is killed, the path is clear for me to step in and claim her for myself. I'll give her a glimpse into the truth. I give Calla and her kids one year to grieve their loss. When the year is over, I pluck them from the grey world she clings to and insert them into the vivid color of my Bellandi life. Even when it hurts, and she rails against me. Rising tensions in my world threaten to steal her away from me, but I won't let anyone take what is mine. Instead, I'll demand every piece of her: her heart, her body. Her soul. And I won't stop until I've taken everything.
