Bounded To You (To Love)

[BOOK 5 - Short]

Robert has become a business tycoon, his business empire having reached across the world. His entire life has become dedicated to one thing: success. All he does is work as if his life depended on it. He had found that it was the only way his heart wouldn't ache, wouldn't dwell on the past. Even then, his mind would betray him in a moment of weakness and remind him that he was forgotten, alone, even when he had Benjamín to take care of.

He built walls, to protect himself, and his battered, fragile heart from anymore pain, but through a crack, he sees a glimmer of light, and in his curiosity he pushes a brick to look through. What he didn't bet on were the walls falling, dragging them down with him.

Will he love again? Will he be loved again? Is it a risk he was willing to take?

"You can close your eyes to things you don't want to see, but you can't close your heart to things you don't want to feel." ~ Johnny Depp
