I pulled the trigger and walked away from Victoria forever. I followed my plan for vengeance to a T, never deviating, never straying from the path no matter what. So why does it feel like my cold, dark heart just got ripped out of my chest? I know I should leave New York, find my sister and put my past and Victoria long behind me. But something is holding me back. No. Someone is holding me back. After finding out that Victoria is in trouble, I can’t possibly leave. Because even though I hurt her, I made a vow a long time ago that I would protect her. And I’ll move heaven and earth to keep that promise. **Victorious is the conclusion of the two-book dark romance Deviant Series and is not intended to be read as a standalone.
