His Rejection

I’m not a hero. I’ll never be that guy. No matter how much she makes me wish I could…
 
My life isn’t truly mine.
Working for the mafia means my loyalty is to the family. Love and marriage aren’t for me.
I can’t be what Serafina needs. What she deserves.
But that doesn’t stop me from wanting her. From taking her.
From possessing her.
She’s the only comfort I’ve known for years.  My light in the dark.
And it doesn’t matter.
Because keeping her would mean rejecting everything else. I can’t do that.  
So, I’ll rescue her from the walking dead man who thought he could take her from me.
But there’s nothing I can do to protect her from the monster that’s about to destroy her.
