"I will only change my mind after you have managed to show me how far you're willing to go. Every good thing comes at a cost, what are willing to pay for yours?" he asked me with his arms folded across his broad chest. "I would have sacrificed everything I have but the only problem is that you're not a good thing. You're a walking nightmare and my goal will forever remain escaping from your clutches."
