When Fate Meets A Bullet I grew up watching him from the shadows. The stoic man with a face made of stone. Reggie. My father's right hand and best friend. He looked so handsome splattered in red. So beautiful when he made others bleed. The depravity there drew me in. My young heart wanted to know what it would be like to be dominated by him. Controlled. Protected. Enthralled. But despite all of the tension between us, he remained cruel. He was relentless in pushing me away, in protecting me from joining the Wyelli empire. Then I grew up. I made it my mission to become the queen of the empire he tried so hard to keep me from. I'm going to paint this city in a pretty crimson-colored Hell. Naïve. Silly. Little girl.
