What Doesn’t Kill Us by MercyAnn Summers

Darius
I disappeared.
It was unexpected.
Incredibly inconvenient even, but if it meant she was safe, then so be it.
After a tireless search for a nameless, faceless enemy – still, they remain elusive.
Each day that goes by without her is excruciating.
But I know, she will never be satisfied until she’s back by my side.
Spitting mad and out for blood, she knows what buttons to push to get me there, reminding me of who she belongs to.
Me.

Antoinette

He disappeared.
It was shocking.
Agonizingly painful even, but if it meant he was alive, then so be it.
After assiduously searching, I will not accept that he is lost to me.
But as each day that goes by, breathing increasingly becomes exhausting.
Until one day, he’s there; fueled by rage and out for revenge – determined to remind me who I belong to.
Him.
