Zealous by Hazel Grace

Everything in life comes with a price; your heart, your sanity, your soul.
I paid for all three when I fell in love with Rora.
Her betrayal left me in shambles, a hollow man filled with insurmountable regret.
I resented her.
And then I hurt her.
Betrayed her in the selfishness of my retribution.
But when I lay eyes on her again, she’s not the same woman I exiled from my past. She’s not the woman I once loved.
Her eyes burn brighter, only with the deepest of hatred.
A hatred that bears my name.
Everything has a meaning; your past, your present, the people that you hold true to your heart.
But what if all three of those play your trial, jury and judge to a crime you never committed in the first place?
The old me died after my conviction, only to come back with contempt and revenge in my veins.
The love and trust are gone while I write my list down of every Judas in my midst.
And I’m starting with him.
