Bawat kirot ay may katumbas na paghihiganti. Yes, every pain demands a payback. That's the first thing I learned when I loved him. Not consciously, not right away-but slowly, in pieces. He taught me how to love. His love was wildfire-reckless, consuming, beautiful in the way it ruined everything. I thought I was lucky to have it. I thought he saw something in me. Maybe he did. Maybe he saw the parts that were already breaking. He taught me how to bend the rules, how to silence the voice in my head that said "this isn't right." With him, right and wrong blurred until they didn't matter. Until all that mattered was staying close enough not to lose him, but distant enough not to drown. And then came pain. He taught me pain in a thousand unspoken ways. In words that stung more than silence. In apologies that came too late. In touches that lingered with regret. And pain... And pain. Again and again No fairy tale. No forever. It was never about soulmates. It was just... a story. A complicated, messy, painful story. But still, I gambled. I bet my heart on something that didn't deserve it. And in the end, that so-called love? It destroyed me. It didn't just break me-it broke everything I cared about. Everyone I loved. It burned through every soft thing I had left inside me. Because that love... Was disastrous. Behind the illusion of love hid everything I was afraid of: pain, betrayal, lies, manipulation. A heartbreak wrapped in promises. A knife dressed like a kiss. But here's what no one tells you: after heartbreak comes something sharper. Stronger. Revenge. And revenge-it's not sweet. It's not cold. It's best served hot. The kind of heat that doesn't ask for closure. It takes it. I, who was a he, now turned into a she. I will serve pain out of pain. Not to mirror the cruelty, but to remind the world: You don't get to hurt someone like me and walk away unburned.

One punch, and the world tilted off its axis.

He hated him. At least, that's what Caspian Villarreal kept telling himself. He hated the way Aurelien Yen Soriano looked too soft for this world, like he didn't belong in the noise and chaos Casp lived for. Hated how one glance could punch a hole straight through his armor. Hated the sound of his voice too gentle, too honest because it made Casp feel things he swore he wasn't built to feel. Caspian didn't care. He couldn't care. That was homo shit, and he wasn't about that. No way in hell. So why the fuck did his chest burn every time Aurelien smiled at someone else? Why did his fists clench when another guy leaned too close? Why did his whole world grind to a stop the night he saw him crying in his car, and realized he couldn't walk away? Cause years of pretending he didn't care, of looking the other way just to protect whatever was left of his pride it didn't work anymore. Fuck his pride. Fuck the walls he built. Fuck the fear, the noise, the rules he grew up with. He didn't care anymore. He wanted him. And he was going to get him. Caspian swore he was in control. But Aurelien was about to ruin everything.
