My feet ache and I sit back in the seat, wishing with every fiber of my body that I had a tub to crawl into tonight. But now, after hours of being on my feet and busting my ass at the restaurant, it doesn’t feel like it was worth it.
Rita asked me to work the late shift again tonight and I couldn’t afford to turn it down. The entire car is deserted and has been this way since I got on. Normally I wouldn’t count my money on the train, but it’s the last one and it’s nearly midnight. Instead I grit my teeth and shove the money back in my wallet and into my purse. “Forty-seven dollars.” I could cry as I look down at the measly bills in my hands. I should’ve let her go when I had the chance, but I’m an only child. She’s absolutely pure, and I’ve brought her into my world, into the underground mafia. All I know is, I plan on living until the end of time because this angel won’t go where I’ll go when my lights go out. Some might say it changed for the worse, but she says it’s for the better. The night I first saw her was the night her life changed forever. I’m not a man who feels guilt or remorse, but I’ll spend a thousand years trying to repent if it means I can have her in my arms. For her, I would fall on the sword, even if she was the one holding it. I will drop to my knees and confess my sins so that she can cleanse my soul. Her eyes are the center of my world and somehow she’s become my angel. I have to look at her every night and tell this innocent angel why I’ve walked down the path I have.īut I’ll do it, because I have no other choice. And now, for the first time in my life, I have to explain why. With every dark deed, I knew the weight of my actions, but I never had to justify it to anyone.
That’s the way it goes when you’re the boss. There are a few areas I don’t fuck with, like women, children, or drugs, but for the most part my hands are covered in dirt. I’ve stolen, I’ve blackmailed, I’ve even killed people. What I’ve done in my life, I’ve done for my own reasons. People say karma’s a bitch, but she’s been nothing but good to me. To everyone that fell in love with The Breeding Series… But we were never prepared for the Kingpin.
