1 " That’s when I see what we are. I’ve always been the upper half of an hourglass while he was the bottom. Sooner or later, he was meant to empty me until nothing was left. "
― Rina Kent , Empire of Hate (Empire, #3)
2 " It’s hard to hate you and even harder to forget you, but loving you was the easiest thing that I’ve ever done. It was natural, inevitable, and fucking infinite "
3 " The years you were out of my life were so empty and desolate, I tried to fill them up with anything available. I didn’t realize I failed until the moment you walked into my office. "
4 " He brushes his lips against mine. “Remember when you asked me where my home is?”“You said it was nowhere.”“I lied.” He taps my chest. “My home is wherever you are. You’re my home, Nicole. "
5 " Tell me we’re together. Tell me I’m yours as much as you’re mine.”“Fuck right we’re together. And I don’t only belong to you, but you’re too deep into my soul, I’d have to die to remove you. And that’s just tragic, so you can’t leave me. "
6 " You’re the only woman I can imagine spending the rest of my life with. The woman I want to wake up next to every single day. You don’t only make me a better man, but you also give me the urge to be more for you. "
7 " Tell me you’re mine, Nicole,” he groans against my lips.“I’m yours.” The words are the easiest I’ve ever said.“Only mine?”“Only yours. "
8 " Nicole isn’t the type who’d settle for being anyone’s side anything. She’s the main course. The highlight of a show. The film’s premiere. "
9 " It’s so rare to see Daniel enamored by anything. He’s always treated life as either a game or a chore—never a subject to be absorbed in. Never something to be fascinated with. "
10 " You have the beauty of a fucking angel, Peaches.” He rests his chin on my stomach, his eyes clashing with mine for a brief second. “Too bad you possess the personality of the bloody devil. "
11 " He was and will always be my darkest, most forbidden fantasy. "
12 " Now that I think about it, I don’t remember seeing her laugh either. And probably never will, considering my status as the warden of her hell. "
13 " Nicole is beautiful under normal circumstances, but when she smiles, her entire face brightens and the universe pauses. "
14 " Marriages are overrated. They’re just a glorified contract for a socially acceptable whoring agreement. They’re messy, full of betrayals, and usually end with sloppy divorces and a hefty check for the solicitor. "
15 " I became obsessed with you since you gave me that snow globe and laid your head on my thigh. That obsession turned to hatred and fascination over the years. I hated myself because I wanted you more than I wanted anything. I hated myself for never being able to move on from you, for avoiding all blondes because they reminded me of you. So the thing is, you never gave me a choice. The memory of you followed me everywhere like a ghost, or an angel, I’m not sure which. "
