That's all that has ever mattered as in the cold eyes of the leader of the crime syndicate that haunts New Orleans as a living nightmare, Derek Volkohov. They call him the 'Reaper'. The only one who profits in what is now left of the once grand streets of the city. So when this girl approached him, saying she would take back what rightfully belongs to its inhabitants, of course a grin settled atop his lips. Slowly obsessing over her every attempt at the pathetic rescue, wasn't planned. ⋆⁺₊⋆ ━━━━⊱༒︎ • ༒︎⊰━━━━ ⋆⁺₊⋆ "𝙵𝚊𝚝𝚎 𝚒𝚜𝚗'𝚝 𝚠𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚗 𝚋𝚢 𝚍𝚎𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚢 𝚘𝚛 𝙶𝚘𝚍. 𝙸𝚝'𝚜 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚍𝚎𝚌𝚒𝚍𝚎, 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚠𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚎, 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚌𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚎.

Wanting to be his only addiction was never asked for. ⋆⁺₊⋆ ━━━━⊱༒︎ • ༒︎⊰━━━━ ⋆⁺₊⋆ 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝙲𝙻𝙾𝙲𝙺 𝚂𝚃𝚁𝚄𝙲𝙺 12 am, a certain unease settling in my stomach. I need to see her. Those long eyelashes she bats every time I give an answer she can't retort at. That nose that flares with disgust whenever she hears of other crimes I've done. And those gorgeous eyes of hers when she loses her hope just for a second before getting back on track to destroying me. So that's what I do. That's where I go. Home. To her. And seeing her asleep, truly without a care in the world, sets my heart ablaze with a need to tell her the things she won't figure out, the things I'll never utter...
