HIM Family comes first. Always. That was drilled in my head since I was a little boy. I lived with only one purpose. I would protect them. Fight for them. Kill for them. And die for them.

The moment our eyes met, I was gone. The pull between us so hard to resist. She became my one and only undeniable Obsession. When it is time to make a choice, who would I choose? My family? or My Obsession? * HER I was living in the darkness for so long. No life. No choice. I was bent to his will, doing whatever he wanted me to do. I was no longer my own. Only because the Devil owned me. Body and soul. But not my heart. Days after days, my hope slowly vanished into thin air. Until HIM. One look was enough to make my heart beat just a little faster.
