The Promise by SR Jones

Damen:
In my world, you trust no one.
In my world, family can be the worst enemy of all.
In my world, no one hurts what is mine.
I made a promise: to keep Maya safe at all costs. Now someone has taken her, and she is facing true horror. I will burn this world to the ground in order to save her.
Then once I have her home, I will never let her go again.
Maya:
He says he wants me to be his, but he won’t tell me he loves me.
Ownership, control, these are what he trades in, but I need more.
Making something real from how we began won’t be easy, but we can build something beautiful from brutality. We can find our own truth amongst the lies.
Trouble is, we both need to believe in us to make this work, and I’m not sure he does.
