   Summary

   "I am the Prince of Darkness, but even I don't deserve to be treated like dirt by the person I gave my heart to."

   In the beginning, the Devil thought Dice’s sharp tongue was just part of his charm. But over time, the wit turned into a weapon, and the partner he loved started to sound more and more like a ghost from a past Dice never talked about.

   A story about the things we inherit from the people who broke us, and the long, quiet road back to becoming someone worth loving.
