Fera
by Sky CorganUm relato moderno da Bela e a Fera pelo autor best-seller do USA Today, Sky Corgan Meu trabalho é matar pessoas. Se elas tiverem sorte, eu apenas lhes dou uma surra. É raro que elas tenham sorte. Eu sei que eu trabalho para um tirano. Qualquer um que tenha o azar de tirar George Lynch do sério deve saber que está com os dias contados. Eu sou a arma em seu coldre, aquela que ele saca para resolver os ‘problemas’. Aquela que ele usa para não precisar sujar suas próprias mãos. Ele me salvou de uma vida de crimes que teria me levado para a cadeia. Agora, eu cometo crimes ainda piores que me levariam à pena de morte se eu for pego. George me tem na palma da mão. Acho que nós dois temos sorte de eu nunca me cansar de matar. Por isso eu não entendo o porquê dele ter me alocado a esse pequeno projeto. Sequestrar uma garota e mantê-la presa em uma de suas casas com todo conforto de um animalzinho de estimação mimado. Esse serviço deveria ser fácil. Kendall deveria ser um ratinho submisso. Eu achei que ela obedeceria todos os meus comandos. Eu estava errado. Agora estou envolvido em algo que poderia me custar tudo. Ter que escolher entre o amor e a minha própria vida. Será que vale a pena? Porque quem poderia amar uma fera? Esta é uma história independente, sem trapaças e um final feliz para sempre.
