She was my first love...a forbidden love, but my love all the same.
We promised ourselves to each other, not caring what the world thought once we graduated. We were getting out of the town of Nyte, and out from under my father's thumb. Until then, we kept our love a secret.
But then, it was no longer a secret.
Throwing all caution to the wind, my stepsister and I made the mistake of taking things a little too far one day, and our parents caught us in a compromising position.
Threats were made, punishments were handed out, and we were ordered to end things immediately.
I loved Saraya with every single part of me, down to the tiniest cell that's encased within. My stepsister was the reason I drew breath each day. To turn what we had into something so ugly was unforgivable, and the day my father forbade me to be with the love of my life was the day my father became dead to me. I didn't think anything could hurt worse than that, but I was so wrong.
Saraya hurt me in the worst of ways, and now-she's back-begging for my help. I will help her. After all, she is the only living family I have, but it will come at a price. A price that may be too steep for her to pay, but I'm going to enjoy watching her try.
If she pays up like a good girl, then I may just keep her-reclaiming her as mine.
