Pov Hana:
After he left, I was left alone, still reliving the memories of my last moments. I could see so much anger and hatred in my eyes.
I remember those emotions; there was no sadness or fear. I was never religious, and I didn't think for a second if there would be anything after death. For me, it would just be disappearing, and that alone was more than enough for someone like me.
I always knew I was a bad person, the worst kind of person, the symbol of what all criminals fear. I reigned over an empire of terror built on a cruel arrogance I hadn't possessed in a long time.
I never tried to change for one simple reason: I couldn't. It was my way of being. I couldn't pretend to be something else. I couldn't hold back that cruelty inside me; it was my truth, my true self.
