Blair: For three decades I have been isolated from the outer world by my husband, Klaus, who only married me for an alliance. Three decades of misery and loss... I lost my lover, my child, and my freedom. I finally got my freedom, because I was useless in his eyes... Useless, broken, unstable... I was all of those until I met him, Ryan... He brought back the girl I was before Klaus. He's all I've ever wanted and needed. All I know is, I can't lose him... Ryan: For over seven centuries I have been hurt and used by my creator, my father. I fought all my life to make him proud and love me, but all I was to him was a failure... All he cared about was his golden boy, my little brother. I learned that I wasn't someone to be loved, all until I met her, Blair... She taught me what love is, how it feels, and what family is. She ended seven centuries of pain and brought the best of me out, but also the worst. I wouldn't know what to do without her...
