His to Keep

Everything changed the day my mother died, The carefully crafted lie she weaved came undone, and my world unraveled along with it. Even though I’d witnessed her bend and then ultimately break with my father’s cruelty, I had no clue how vicious he could really be until I was the only thing he had left to control. But sometimes things aren’t always what they seem, and better the devil, you know, than the one on his way.
