Concealed Affliction

Ryder has been my light in a hurricane, but even I know the sun can't shine all the time. He's made me feel safe, but that doesn't mean he can save me. Because someone's still out there. Hell bent on hurting me. This journey of mine only leaves me two choices:Do I continue on my path towards retribution for my family? Or do I focus on the first man to crack my steel encased soul? He hurt me, lied to me and broke my heart. But I was wrong, wasn't I?So wrong. I'm at a crossroad.Crooked cops, a shady mayor and his conniving daughter, I don't know where to turn. Ryder or retribution? Love or loss?This life of mine isn't a fairy-tale. I know I can't have both.
