"Vengeance? As twisted it seems, the more disgusting it is. When everyone used their twisted love into a weapon for their selfish games, I refused to let my woman be dragged into it-used as nothing more than a pawn. She was, she is mine to protect, mine to keep." ________________ He lived in the shadows, where her laughter became his prayer and her tears, his torment. To her, he was invisible-lives in shadows, be her silent guardian. She was his everything, even if she never knew it. Her smile was the light he wasn't worthy of, yet he carved her into the marrow of his bones, into every breath he stole in her absence. She belonged to him long before but lost her with the burden of his own mistakes, long before she felt the weight of a love too obsessive, too consuming, too dangerous to set her free. .......................
