His Darkest Need

2021

Everything my family built has been destroyed, but now it’s time I claim it again. Laz My family is known for being cutthroat and ruthless. After all, we’re Diosalvi’s. Though, how fitting it is my father was brought down by his wife and my stepsister. After he and his wife are killed it’s now my time to rule with an iron fist. Enemies come from near and far, but I’m not my father. My revenge won’t be swift, nor will I show mercy. I’ve never wanted to harm anyone more than my stepsister, Elora. She will be one of the first to see how far I go, even if she’s pure, forgiving, and incredibly naive. I will play on every want and need this woman has and when she can’t take anymore, I’ll throw her out like trash. Yet with every tear that slides down her cheeks, it’s growing harder every day for me to let her go.
