Dark Surrender

I’ve spent years believing monsters like me don’t deserve happy endings.
After all, I lost my wife to my father because I cheated and had a child outside of our marriage.
I lost my sons.
And somewhere along the way, I lost myself.

Now I’m married to Penelope, a woman I never loved, doing jobs I hate, living in a gilded prison of her creation.
But when she walks into my life, the woman who changes everything…
She wants me dead, and I’m okay with that.
I don’t wanna live like this anymore.
I’m done.
Exhausted.
Ready for it to be over.
Yet somehow she sees me. The real me. Beneath all the bullshit.
I don’t know what I did to deserve her, but there’s nothing I won’t do to become worthy of her love.
Even if I must die in the process.
