Christopher Mancini. Just his name sends ripples of confusion through me. At first, he seemed like a lifeline being thrown from my beloved husband. A man cloaked in mystery. A man with a reputation for leaving destruction in his wake, he was everything that should have scared me. Yet, there was an undeniable allure to him, a fierce intensity that drew me in like a moth to a flame.
