Sacrificial Saint

The Story

A bullet took her life, not the man who fired it. For three years, she believed Lorenzo was her salvation, but his devotion was a calculated lie. He discarded her onto rival gang territory after a night of cruelty, then stole her pregnancy medication to protect his sister-in-law, Sophia. The loss of her child was just the beginning. He locked her in a water tank at an underground club, forcing the crowd to bid on her body. Her spirit broke, and she shattered the glass. Soaked in blood, she grabbed the hand of his archrival, Antonio, and pledged to help him kill Lorenzo. When she returned, a black datura was tattooed on her lower back. Lorenzo knelt and begged for her return. She drew her blade and slit his flesh, declaring that the cut was for the child he killed.
