We have a tendency to try to cope with our realities by creating alternative versions and scenerios-sometimes different worlds. Without these daydreams, we would have no hope. Fantasies provide us with a desperetly needed escape from reality; they keep us sane and full of hope. We need to dream in order to have hope things will get better. We need to dream so we can plan what is instore for us. Without dreaming we would be millions of cyncical, screwed-up, sinister people on a giant rock floating in an endless space. However much our dreams help us, they can also destroy us. Our dreams not only give us hope but piles of disappointments. We all need a bit of cynicism in our lives; where would we be without being just a little distrustful of human nature? Sure, in the long run our fantasies will have more positive effects on us than expected, but there is something we all need that our dreams cant give us. It has been said that our dreams allow us to escape from relaity, but what they dont provide us is a sense of reality. Escaping from reality is sometimes what we all need, nonetheless we all need to at least be able to appreciate and acknowlege that our reality is real and will shape us into who we need to be. This isn't a story about falling in love. This isn't a story of a girl who falls in love with a boy and then all of her problems magically disappear. This is a story of a girl who has to learn how to take hold of her reality. This is her story.

While tortured and held captive as a prisoner of war, she became my reason to keep breathing. The force that fueled my will to fight. To survive. When I woke after the rescue to discover the life I thought I was coming home to was but a figment of my imagination, hallucinations brought about by pain, desperation, and isolation... it nearly broke me. Fifteen years since I first lost her, at last, we have a second chance. Holding her in my arms, finally feeling the warmth of her skin as she melts under my touch, is like a dream. She and her two little girls are now as essential to my existence as the air I breathe. However, just as things start falling into place, the universe steps in, threatening to take it all away. I used to think that choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved, but now I see that in choosing her and her children, I have the chance to reclaim all that I lost. They are my salvation. My true path to redemption. Which is why I'll leave no stone unturned, why I will scorch this world to the ground if that's what it takes to save them. And when I do, I will fight to convince her once and for all they are meant to be mine, just as I was destined to be theirs. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 3 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc, the emotional conclusion to their story. For the full journey, start with Book 1: Broken Vows.
