It made me a prize. Then a possession. Then a widow. Now I hide- behind grief, behind empty smiles and hollow laughter. Until he came. He didn't knock. He didn't ask. He claimed. Said he owned my life because he saved it. Said I was made for him. He calls me his goddess. Worships me like I'm divine. Obsesses like a sinner. Loves like a man with nothing left to lose and everything to take. His devotion is teeth and fire, too holy to refuse, too violent to survive. And I- I fear what I'll become if I let him in. Because obsession doesn't feel like love. It feels like drowning. And I've already died once. I don't think I can survive him || 𝐀 𝐑𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 ||
