The Innocent and The Damned - The Knights, #2 - E-book - ePub

"May dalawang uri ng tao sa mundo, baby. The innocent and the damned. You belong to the first, I to the latter." Helion Knight's world is filled with demons he can't get rid of. And the only light in that world is the orphan his father left him to take care of at a young age-si Alexa. Ito ang naging kanyang rason para naising maging mabuting tao; maging mabuting lalaki. But she disappeared one fateful night.
Sa tagal ng panahong hindi nagbunga ang lahat ng pagtya-tiyaga niyang hanapin si Alexa sa kung saan-saan, nawalan na siya ng pag-asang kahit kailan ay matutunton niya pa ito't mahahagkang muli. He'd been resigned to the ugly fact na hanggang panaginip na lamang niya makakasama ang dalagang tinakasan sila sa hospicio sampung taon na ang nakakalipas. It was like she disappeared off of the face of the earth. Simula nang mawala si Alexa'y lumala lamang ang mga bangungot na nilalabanan niya.
He learned to stop trying to sleep at night. Hindi niya alam kung paano matutulog ng mahimbing gayong nag-aalala siya ng husto sa kalagayan ng dalaga. Pero sadyang kahit na ano'ng gawin niyang hanap, hindi niya matagpuan si Alexa. A decade after, in the most random way, he found her again. But she isn't a child anymore. She's now a fully grown woman and he is afraid that the lust he feels for her will no longer know any bounds.
Paano kung malaman nitong hindi puro ang intensyon niya rito? Iiwan ba siyang muli nito? Tatakbo? He couldn't bear that anymore. Alexa is his only chance at redemption. She is his light. His hope. His beloved. And he will make sure nothing will take her away from him again.
