About Little Nightmare
Welcome to your final dream.
Don’t worry. I will keep you safe.
I promise. Just close your eyes.
Sleep.
It is a bad omen when the nickname for the girl you are supposed to protect is Black Widow. It is still unclear where she got it from, but I have heard the word machete and laughter thrown around way more than I am comfortable with.
The pay is so high that my brother and I, being from the De Lange Family can’t really say no.
We slide so easily into the protective unit of the Five Families that they forgot to check if we had extra knives to drive into their backs.
They have a debt to pay.
And I am more than willing to collect it in blood—hers specifically.
I will make her love me.
I will make her trust me.
And when she finally gives in…
I will make sure she knows that everything she has ever loved was destroyed by the one she gave her heart to.
She is a living nightmare and I am the monster she innocently invited in.
Care to play?
She thinks I am a toy, I will show her I am the master of the web and in the end, I will make sure she bites.
When one Family falls—another will rise.
The Rise of the De Langes
