Chapter 82

• “I love you, Simone; my heart will always belong to you.”
• “No, don't Darius. You can't leave me.” She pressed her forehead to his. “I need you. Please, please don't go.”
• The tears began to freely slide down her face, and so did his hand. His eyes fluttered shut, and his body turned into cold stone. Her heart sank, and everything felt like it was disappearing from her. She stroked her fingers against his cheek, and his ice-cold skin hit her senses. She wanted to warm him up and knew the only way how was to give him what he wanted, what he required.
