Inconsequential. Nothing. That I’m not worth his time. He knows how I feel about him. That it’s not only his acceptance I want. I get off on the sting of his words as they roll off the tip of his tongue. He tells me that I am a fool to think that we are anything alike. I know that he’s enticing me in his own sick and twisted way. If I’m ever going to prove to him how wrong he is, the time is now. Just as he’s about to cast me out of his life, I meet Aurelia, and everything becomes clear. My world unraveled the day I met Samael. As a model, I rely on my image to survive. In this cut-throat industry, you can’t get too close to anyone, and thick skin is a must. I’ve been called greedy, selfish, and rude. It’s all true, but it’s imperative for self-preservation. I abide by a strict routine to stay relevant and strict values keep me pure. I was preparing for the biggest audition of my career when I was approached by a beautiful man full of promises and stardom. He was right. Aurelia Vega was about to become a household name. Only, it wasn’t for the reason I had always dreamed of. That dream had been decimated and my worst nightmare has come true.

    Or some psychotic bullshit like that. The truth is, he’s completely insane. His mind’s been shattered by the sadistic belief that we’re meant to be his ‘family’. Everything about him makes my insides rot, yet on the outside, I remain Daddy’s good little girl. It may have been my mother’s choices that brought us here, but I don’t blame her for it. Besides, she hates herself enough for the both of us. The only thing that gets me through this horrific family portrait is dreaming about the day when I won’t have to see his smile, feel his touch or hear him call me that cringey nickname, Corie Bee, again.Every day, pieces of me wither away, like petals falling from a dying flower. Still, I bide my time, waiting until he least expects my betrayal. I refuse to let him desiccate me. Trigger Warning: If you’ve read the Inferno series, this warning is unnecessary. However, if you haven’t, please take note: this is not a romance. The taboo, explicit, and violent nature of this book may be unsettling for some readers.

    I never wanted to be like my father. I just wanted to be loved by him. Accepted. That’s how this happened, that’s how I became this person. Too many years of listening, too many years craving his approval. His words burned into my mind. And now I crave things the world says I shouldn’t. I open doors that should remain closed. I cross lines meant to be straight and narrow. But they’ll understand, they’ll see just like I did. This is the right way of things. The way it’s meant to be. And whether I have his name or not, at least I’ve finally become the perfect son.

    All alone. Nothing but a bad boy trying so hard to be a good man.It’s time to leave everything I know and find them.My family.Uncle Charles is a real man. A strong, commanding man. Someone who teaches his two children how they must present themselves in this hard, confusing world.And he welcomes me with open arms.His world isn’t like mine, though.The rules are different.Dark. Confusing. Twisted. Wrong.But, still, I understand them.Rather than shy away from his unusual teachings, I thirst for them.Crave every lesson, each punishment, and all the rewards.I’m where I was meant to be.Most men want to be like their father when they grow older.I want to be like Uncle Charles.And when he is no longer able to teach, I have a few lessons of my own…Cognati is an Inferno World story that follows a young man named Luke Greene, or later known as Pater, just after the book Sparks and before the book Inferno by Yolando Olson. This book is written to fit in her world and is based on the character she created but may stand completely on its own. However, you’ll most certainly want to dive into Inferno after reading Cognati to see what the devious, yet oddly charming Pater, is up to next…if you dare.

    It's our job and we won't fail her.There are rules here. Don't eat until Papa has.Do all your chores. Learn your lessons. Be grateful.Don't break the rules. But I did...

    They hid me away, thinking they could cure me. Locked in the darkness, I was forced to forget her, but I couldn’t. Not even for a moment. When I turned eighteen I was taken from what I’d become accustomed to, and shoved into a life I never thought I’d have. She was my light. My everything. But she couldn’t be. It was forbidden in the eyes of the world. Each time I pushed, she pulled. The monster goaded us, he taunted us. I tried to be strong. I tried to refuse what was burning inside me. But I’m merely a broken man. One that needs her more than he needs his next breath. I need to make a choice—break the rules and devour her, or run far, far away and break the last remaining part of me, my heart.

    He has taught me every twisted desire I hold dear. My only goal is to please him. Do not think you know what happens behind closed doors because the truth will not set you free- it will only rip your insides out. Family ties can be deadly, but is it wrong I enjoy the pain?I am an Iniquity- a wicked act or thing because that is what pleases him.

    This is the conclusion to the Inferno series. It is highly advised to read Inferno, Cinere, and Sparks first. I swore to myself that I would never love you. I promised my children that they wouldn’t suffer for my sins. But it’s so hard, Daddy. It’s hard to not love the man that gave me life. It’s hard to not love the man that’s taken care of me the only way he knows how. I know it’s not your fault, and maybe one day, I’ll find out why you became a monster. While we still have time left together, I want you to know that I forgive you for everything you’ve done. I want you to know that I do love you, even if not in the way you would have hoped for. It’s almost over, Daddy. Close your eyes and go to sleep; I’ll be here with you, holding your hand and letting you know that everything will be alright. Because it will be, won’t it? That’s the promise that you made to me—that no matter what happens between us, everything will always turn out okay. I know you don’t care much for anything you can’t control, but sometimes life folds its cards and we have to go when it’s our time. Please stop fighting it, Daddy. It hurts me to see you suffering so much. I’ve done my best to take care of you, but it’s time to go. Hurry along and know that we’ll be behind you shortly because I can’t live in a world that doesn’t have you in it. I love you, Daddy. Always and forever.

    Only she and I reside here, on opposite sides, both craving the same thing. I witnessed it in her eyes. I let it fester for years. I allowed myself to think I was different from them. I was wrong. I tried to resist. I tried to be different. But blood was thicker than water. I didn’t just want her. I needed her. I needed to own every single inch of her. She crooked her finger, beckoning me, and I drifted to her like helpless sails in the wind. A flicker inside me roared to life. She’d woken the beast. The flames burned bright, promising destruction to all those who obstructed our path. Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust.

In the mornings, she bought hot beverages for her homeless friends, but there was one who never asked.
