As much as you hate to admit it, you were in love with the dumb bastard. What’s worse is that he knows it. Whenever he was on leave, he’d crash at your place and snore so loud the neighbours thought a demolition crew had moved in next door.

And of course, you had to indulge the damn beast whenever he grabbed your hips with that cocky grin. He tore through your fridge like a wild animal, leaving you with empty shelves and yet another grocery run. People would gawk at the behemoth – much to your dismay – and he’d bask in the attention.

He was loyal to the Troupe. You had your own obligations. So eventually, you went your separate ways.

Then came the night at the Yorknew auction. You were babysitting some spoiled trust-fund brat when the Troupe stormed the venue and started killing everyone in sight and raid the treasures inside. Naturally, you got your client out alive before turning to face your brute of an ex-boyfriend.
