.Asher's Story.

Years passed, and Asher found himself tangled in the web of Anton's world, each decision heavier than the last. He became adept at masking his emotions, learning to blend into the shadows while plotting his revenge. Anton continued to tighten his grip around Asher's life and decisions, watching as he transformed into a shadow of himself, a creature shaped by cruelty, abuse, and manipulation.

But in the recesses of his mind, a flicker of rebellion remained. Asher knew that he would not always be a pawn in Anton's cruel game. He would rise from the ashes of his stepfather's malevolence, becoming the architect of his fate, the master of his darkness.

The moment of reckoning would come; he would confront the monster who had stolen his childhood and murdered the only person who had ever loved him. For now, Asher was biding his time, waiting for the storm to break.

But first, he had to survive the storm.
