Power. Purpose. A future. And her—the woman I was going to marry. The one who looked at me like I was a king. Her aqua eyes were so full of fire and love, she made me believe in always.
I was ready to build forever.
Until one gunshot ripped it all away.
Now, I’m a ghost in my own skin. Broken body. Shattered mind. A heart that barely remembers how to beat. The only thing more unbearable than the pain is the look in her eyes— the pity,...

Power. Purpose. A future. And her—the woman I was going to marry. The one who looked at me like I was a king. Her aqua eyes were so full of fire and love, she made me believe in always.
I was ready to build forever.
Until one gunshot ripped it all away.
Now, I’m a ghost in my own skin. Broken body. Shattered mind. A heart that barely remembers how to beat. The only thing more unbearable than the pain is the look in her eyes— the pity, the grief… the hope.
I told her to leave.
I told her to never come back.
But she didn’t listen.
She’s still fighting for the man I used to be. Still determined to love me. But that man is gone. I’m a monster now. And if she stays, I’ll ruin her.
