The Devious Man ... How Utterly Twisted

This is a fiction story about a man named Darius who witnesses his father being abusive to his mother growing up and aims to follow in his footsteps. When Darius meets a young innocent young woman named Dana who has run away from her home for personal reasons, he believes he has found the perfect woman and will go to any length to keep his deceits from her. We meet Darius' mother along the way, a very kind, but weak character who does nothing to defend her honor and seems destined to remain in a loveless relationship indefinitely. Darius' father shares his views about his wife and alleged son, while taking us down his own personal hell. We also hear from friends of both Darius and Dana to get a better idea of what kind of individuals they really are. When Darius agrees to marry Dana, it isn't long before he starts to abuse her. All the while, Dana and Darius' mother are becoming stronger women due to their bonding and friendship, a move that leads to tragedy, pain, and enlightenment.
