"They won't."

"They will," I argue back.

"No, glikiá mou. I promise you they will not."

"Please don't tell me you're like everyone else? Contrary to what most other people think, I honestly think Strakh Inc. is just made up of rich old freaks—-"

"Bailey?"

His gentle tone has me blinking in surprise. "What?"

"Just take my word on this. Strakh Inc. isn't as bad as you think—-"

"But how can you sound so sure of that?"

"Because one of those rich old freaks you mentioned—-" Stelios' expression turns wry. "—-is me."

I see you.

The real you.

I see the whole you, and not just the part kills and terrifies everyone else.

I know you see yourself as a monster.

And I'm not here to say that you're wrong.

You are a monster.

And that's what I fkn love about you.

Most people can only cry or scream when their loved ones are murdered.

But not you.

Your inner monster made absolutely sure their deaths would be avenged, their murderers gruesomely brought to justice.

And I love it.

I think it's incredibly sexy, actually...just like everything about the real you is.

You, and only you.
