The Ritual

<p><strong style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)><em>THE CHOSEN ONE</em></strong></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Barrington University is home of the Lords a secret society that requires their blood in payment. They are above all-the most powerful men in the world. They devote their lives to violence in exchange for power. And during their senior year they are offered a chosen one.</span></p><p><br></p><p><strong style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)><em>I VOW. YOU VOW. WE VOW.</em></strong></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>People think growing up with money is freeing but I promise you it's not. My entire life has been planned out for me. I never got the chance to do what I wanted until Ryat Alexander Archer came along and gave me an option for a better life. He offered me what no one else ever had-freedom.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>I chose to be his. He made me believe that anyway but it was just another lie. A way that the Lords manipulate you into doing what they want.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>After being sucked into the dark twisted world of the Lords I embraced my new role and allowed Ryat to parade me around like the trophy I was to him. But like all things what started out as a game soon became a fight for survival. And the only way out was death.</span></p>
