DAMIANO'S VOW

DAMIANO'S VOW
She was supposed to be a problem I solved.
Not a woman I let into my bed.
Calla Moreau came dressed like temptation,
but I saw through the smile.
Too curious. Too careful.
Too seductive.
I should’ve put a bullet in her and walked away.
Instead, I let her stay.
Let her lie.
Let her close.
Maybe I wanted to see how far she’d go.
Maybe I wanted to feel what it was like to be wanted—
even if it wasn’t real.
She came to bury me.
And I let her dig.
But she doesn’t know this world.
She doesn’t know me.
And by the time she realizes what she set in motion?
It’ll be too late.
One vow. A thousand consequences.
She was my enemy.
Now she’s mine.
