“We’re all monsters, sweetheart. Some of us just hide it better than others.”

Bethany-Kris,
Shattered
“Go to hell, Giovanni.”“Tesoro, take a good look at me. You’ve already put me there.” ― Bethany-Kris, Giovanni
“People are watching us again.” “Good. Beautiful things should be watched. They shine.” ― Bethany-Kris, Lucian
“I’m sorry if you’ve ever felt alone even once standing beside me.” ― Bethany-Kris, Lucian
“Someone needs a bitch-be-gone pill.” ― Bethany-Kris, Giovanni
“Oh my God! Get out right now!”Gio blinked, surprised at her sudden vehemence. “I was in here first.”“The upstairs is—”“Off-limits. Yeah, I know. So were you, but that didn’t stop me. In case you haven’t noticed, I have serious issues with following rules.” ― Bethany-Kris, Giovanni
“You know, I learned a long time ago breathing didn’t make a person feel alive. But you knock the air right out of my lungs, and it’s never felt more real.” ― Bethany-Kris, Giovanni
“Dante felt awful for whatever sorry fucker fell in love with his daughter. May God save that poor man’s soul because Dante sure as hell wouldn’t.” ― Bethany-Kris, Dante
“Money might give people all the control and power in the world they can buy, but it doesn’t give them what’s most important. Designer dresses doesn’t give a woman beauty if she’s not amazing in her heart. Diamonds won’t give her dignity if she has no good in her soul. Education doesn’t make a man worthy. A last name won’t garner someone respect unless they can work for it. Those are things we earn by being who we are. You are wonderful.” ― Bethany-Kris, Lucian
“Fuck me so hard, until I can’t breathe in anything but you. Until I can’t see or feel anything but you. I want you all over me, touching me, tasting me. You do it so well. Drives me crazy. Please fuck me, Dante. Please.” ― Bethany-Kris, Dante
“Because the best kind of friendships never really ended. They could be put on pause for a short while or divided by space and time. But real friends—the truest ones—always waited and never missed a beat.” ― Bethany-Kris, Deathless & Divided
“Ah, the smell of old money, bribery, and religion first thing in the morning,” Abriella said in a long sigh. “Smells like home, girls.” ― Bethany-Kris, Deathless & Divided
“You should have put it on my shelf in the fridge. And guessing from Catrina’s spiel this morning before you guys got here, she’s this close to labeling the damn shelf. So hey, pretty soon you won’t even have to guess which one is mine.” Gio chuckled at Dante’s left. “She’s just like Mom.” Dante scowled. “Don’t say that shit. It really screws with my head. There’s nothing sexy about that thought.” “What, like you married your moth—” “I said don’t fucking say it!” ― Bethany-Kris, Dante
“Those people don’t know you because you don’t let them. There’s nothing wrong with doing that. It’s your choice who you allow to see what’s below your surface. The strongest people are the ones who fight and win wars no one else ever gets to see.” ― Bethany-Kris, Giovanni
“Bad things happen when angry people grieve.” ― Bethany-Kris, Deathless & Divided
“Those wide eyes made her appear innocent and sweet. It was all lies. Dante knew better—knew her. She was hellish. From afar, Cat looked tame. As if any man could make her compliant. That was her trick. It was exactly how she caught her prey. She was a goddamn fiend. If someone made the mistake of getting too close, she didn’t hesitate to sink her fucking claws straight into their jugular and bleed them dry. He loved it.” ― Bethany-Kris, Dante
“Don’t act like some quiet mouse, Viviana. Don’t stand at my side with your head tucked down in those pretty dresses I buy you. Don’t be the weak little mafia princess your momma said you’d have to be. That’s not what I want—not what I need. Stand straight, meet their stare, and be my fucking queen.” ― Bethany-Kris
“She made him feel odd—in a good way. Drunk on nothing. High on air.” ― Bethany-Kris, Giovanni
“Giving this to me makes you mine, Vine. I don’t care about who comes after, or the in-betweens. Not when we both know I’m going to be your last.” ― Bethany-Kris, The Arrangement
“Go to hell, Giovanni.”“Tesoro, take a good look at me. You’ve already put me there.” ― Bethany-Kris, Giovanni
