HOPE It should have been an easy sell. He was just another client, a wealthy target. I offered him what I had. He stole the rest. Beautiful. Confident. His mafia lineage made him a conqueror. He dominated my senses. He planned to rule my body as well. I didn't have a chance at keeping my heart. AXEL Her name said it all. Hope. She came to me in my darkness. The compass that would guide me out of the storm. A goddess. She's with me as I fight the enemy that took everything from me. I am at war now, but the moment the dust settles I'm taking Hope as my prize. She's a challenge. Resistant. Catching her will be like catching a wind. But the Gustavon men are wolves. We know how to tame the wind. And I'm a patient man. Victory is my only option.
