The proverbial victim immortalized forever Seeing Prince Charming when you gazed into his eyes, but, beyond your delusion stood Satan himself fantasizing about how he was to devour your flesh. Sibyl's true love for Dorian did not see deceit's nasty warnings. Narcissistic Dorian could not be abated. The torment of others didn't reach his conscience. He craved only masturbation material...
