I love him. Stupid as it may be, I still love him, even after everything. He’s my North Star.

How many times has the world tried to tell me that Lukas Lazarev is a bad idea? Kir, Jillian, Lukas himself—again and again, I’ve be told that he isn’t just as bad as the stories say he is; he’s worse. A killer. A tyrant. A bloodthirsty beast.
I read that article myself, didn’t I? I know Jillian would never lie. She takes her job too seriously. Those are facts. His wife did die by poisoning. She was buried in an unmarked grave.
I believed there was more to the story then, and I still do now. I believed him then, and I still do now.
But believing something doesn’t make it true. And loving someone doesn’t make them innocent.
