She thought the boy she shattered disappeared with the past. That the night he fell, he took her guilt with him. She was wrong. Monsters don't die quietly. They learn how to breathe in the dark. Lucian was once the quiet boy no one protected. Now he's a man the world fears-and when he returns, he doesn't come for revenge alone. He comes for her. "You looked away when I needed you," he says softly. "Do you know what that does to a person?" She remembers his face from the news.The rumors. The blood. And the unbearable truth- that she helped create him. "You can hurt me," she whispers, defiant even while trembling. "But you'll never own who I am." His smile is slow. Dangerous. Almost sad. "I don't want to own you," he replies. "I want you to choose me... the way you never did before." What begins as fear turns into obsession. What feels like hatred starts to blur into something far more dangerous. Because when two broken souls collide, love doesn't arrive gently-it arrives like war. This is not a story about saving each other. It's about surviving the damage. About guilt that doesn't fade. About love that hurts, heals, and scars all at once. And when everything burns- the past, the blood, the lies- the only question left is: If the person you fear most is also the one who understands you... would you run? Or would you stay?
