Alessandro They say I should’ve died in that explosion. Maybe I did… because the man staring back at me in the mirror sure as hell isn’t the heir to the Gemini empire anymore. He’s a scarred, savage thing held together by pain, rage, and a hunger for vengeance. And now they’ve sent her, this fiery, foul-mouthed redhead with zero self-preservation to babysit me.
