I misbehaved. My knees ached from being planted on the aggressively cold floor for so long, but I would take the pain for as long as possible, if it meant gaining the Devil's forgiveness.

And she's not just about to resist him. When an innocent, naive, little angel mingles with the step-father from Hell.
