Kirsty

I have lived in a constant nightmare for so long, I can't ever remember having a normal life. I was never somebody's anything besides a prisoner, a punching bag, someone's debt to pay. I was betrayed by the very people who should have loved me. I'm not sure exactly what love means anymore. Is it being asleep, and being dragged from your bed at night to be told the world I once knew was a lie? That I was only ever born to cover up someone else's mistake. A mistake that stole my life away from me. I learnt very quickly not to trust anybody, let alone a man, but one look into a pair of midnight eyes swimming in pain, woke something inside me I thought had died a long time ago. How can one look cause so many emotions to play through my body after feeling dead inside for so long? But I don't know if I have anything else to give, I'm a shell of the girl I once was, and I don't know if I will ever be whole again.

Sugar: One touch, one look, one simple husky whispered word, and I felt the safest I had ever felt. Sergio was going to either fill the emptiness inside me or leave me gasping for air.

Sergio

Growing up surrounded by the mob, and looking like I do, means you come in handy for a lot of reasons. I learnt a long time ago, the ins and outs, and if it wasn't for Dominic Grasso, I wouldn't be breathing right now. I owe him everything, a debt I may never be able to pay. Laying my life on the line for him is the least I can do. Looking into a pair of huge brown eyes, laced with pain, I knew I had to try and save her, even if it meant opening old wounds. You don't get too many second chances in life, so when one comes along, you don't turn a blind eye, you reach out and grab it with both hands. Kirsty is that second chance, and I will lay my life on the line to find the answers she deserves. I am big, and scary as fuck, I don't say a lot, but when she clung to me like I was her lifeline, she didn't know it at the time, but she sealed her fate and became mine to save, to protect, to love.

Sergio: I will set the world on fire to give Kirsty the peace she deserves. I will move Heaven and Earth to protect her, and I will fall to my knees to save her.
