[WARNING: THIS BOOK IS EXTREMELY DARK. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!] ---- "Hello there, blonde!" A voice laced with an unsettling coldness echoed. Scarlet gasped and her eyes widened in sudden, horrified recognition. Tears welled in her eyes as she prayed this was all some cruel delusion, that death had mercifully claimed her before she was forced to set her eyes on him again. His piercing gaze troubled her soul as it always did. It was after all, a constant reminder of the profound torment he had inflicted on her that night. "Oh, you're no longer a blonde?" he mused mockingly, one hand lifting to brush against the shortened strands of her hair. Scarlet flinched. The hatred rolling off him filled her with a sense of immense dread that sparked an internal plea for salvation. She tried to flee. Unfortunately, Dane pounced with lightning speed, effortlessly pinning her hands above her head. He straddled her hips, effectively immobilizing her thrashing form beneath his weight. "Re-virginity patching?" he sneered down at her. "Do you really want to deceive your fiancé in such a way?" Scarlet's mind was filled with doubts and fear. Had the procedure truly been completed with this devil around? She prayed deeply and silently for Michael to save her from this monster's grasp. Dane’s other hand seized her chin in a bruising grip, forcing her to meet his cold stare. "Open your eyes!" he commanded menacingly. "There will be no point in patching if you refuse to obey me!" "Please let me go!" Scarlet cried out in desperation. "You have exacted your revenge – it’s over! What more do you want?” "Indeed, I have. However, I’ll not stop until your entire body is unrecognizable except for my marks!”
