They say there's a fine line between love and hate. There is. I fell in love with a monster. He used me. He destroyed me. He made a fool out of me. I didn't know it at the start. You never do. You think you have found the man of your dreams. You think nothing could break you apart. How wrong you are. I loved Marcus Tandem with everything that was me. To him, I was just a business deal, a way to keep something he'd worked hard for. He never had any intentions of returning my affections. He never wanted me in his life. But I wanted him in mine. When you fall in love with the devil, you expect to get burned. Marcus burned me. He consumed me. He devastated me. Somewhere inside, I knew he was no good. I just prayed having me in his life might be enough. I hold onto that small hope, that maybe, just maybe, somewhere deep down in his soul, he might love me too. Someday.
