"Sweetheart, the Devil always gets what he wants; sooner or later you will want me just as much as I want you."

"But mom-"

"Shhh.... let loose angel, this is your destiny."

Lucifer.

Father of lies.

King of Demons.

The Devil is obsessed with me. He married my mother just so he could own me, no matter how hard I try I can't escape him. He doesn't want to let me go and I don't know why.

I have never understood his fascination with me. Most of the time he's there, watching silently like an adept predator sizing his prey, gazing into my soul with those piercing silver blue eyes.

I am what that sinfully gorgeous beast of a man wants and I am what he will get.

Whether I like it or not.

Vanessa does not remember what a normal life is. She is shunned by the world, has no friends and has never dated or been kissed. She likes to blend in with the walls and keep to herself and mostly pretend she is not affected by her devilish step-father's interest in her.

Vanessa has no idea what she really is to the Devil.

Vanessa is the Devil's step-daughter, but the Devil knows that they are destined to be so much more and he will stop at nothing to make her his.
