1 " We were both caught in an undercurrent, dragging us down into its unforgiving depth, unable to swim to the surface on our own. The only people who could save us only wanted to save one of us and see the other drown, but we were entangled. One of us would have to let go first to reach the surface. "

2 " My lips brushed his lightly. “How strong are you, Remo Falcone?” “Strong enough to take you and our children home where you all belong, Angel. "
3 " He possessed me. He owned me. I was the queen. He was the king. Checkmate. "
4 " I’m lost, Remo. "
5 " She was. Serafina was a masterpiece, almost too beautiful. Her golden hair and unblemished skin against the dirty mattress had felt like sacrilege, even to me, and I had committed almost every sin conceivable. "
6 " Emotional warfare is far more effective in this case than open violence. "
7 " My eyes registered a shadow above our heads. A large black and white bird of prey with a red head. “Look,” I panted. “There’s your spirit animal. A vulture.” Remo stopped and laughed. A real laugh. Not dark, taunting, or cruel. “Good to know you find me that repulsive. "
8 " I’m fairly sure God designed your body to drive men into insanity,” Remo said darkly. Stifling the excited thrill Remo’s words sent through me, I retorted, “You believe in God?” “No. I don’t. But looking at you, I could turn into a believer.” I huffed. “There’s a cozy warm place in Hell reserved just for you. "
9 " Do you think they’ll still want me now that I’m ruined?” Serafina was many things, but ruined wasn’t one of them, and anyone who declared her as such was a fucking fool. “Your family loves you. They will do anything to save you, even now. Especially now. "
10 " You shouldn’t have tried to make friends by giving them drugs,” I said. “We’re not Santa Claus. "
11 " She shook her head and peered up at Nino with so much fucking love I knew I could never hurt a single hair on her body. "
12 " I needed to own this woman. Body and soul and everything else she could offer. I fucking burned with the desire to possess her in every way possible. "
13 " La compresión me llenó de una alegría sin igual, no porque pudiera romper al hombre que estaba delante de mí. No, porque nuestros hijos, incluso sin conocerlos, significaban tanto para él que sus muertes lo destruirían. "
14 " I’m so glad you could make it,” Remo said in a British accent, all posh and sophisticated "
15 " —¿Qué tan fuerte eres, Remo Falcone?—Lo suficientemente fuerte como para llevarte a ti y a nuestros hijos a casa a donde todos ustedes pertenecen, ángel. "
16 " This reminds me of you, Adamo,” Remo said. Adamo grimaced. Nino nodded. “You always made a mess during feeding as well. "
17 " What do you know about being a good mother? Or a decent human being?” My chest constricted briefly, but I pushed through it. “I know how to change a diaper for one, and I provided my brothers with protection when they needed it. That’s more than you can say for yourself.” She frowned. “When did you change a diaper?” “When Adamo was an infant, I was already ten,” I said. It was more than I had wanted to reveal in the first place. "
18 " I hope you gave that thing a good scrub,” I called over to Savio, who gave me the finger. "
19 " Desafío tu oscuridad gratamente porque tu luz brilla aún más contra ella. "
20 " How strong are you Remo Felcone?Strong enough to take you and our kids home where you belong angel. "
