Bound By Defiance.

I didn't realize I was already lost.

I didn't realize someone else had already started pulling me.

I didn't realize Zeon was watching me from the corner of every room, every group chat, every argument, every breath.

I didn't realize how easily he would unravel me.

But that's the thing about stories that change your life:

They never start with fireworks.
They start with something stupid.

Like a group assignment.

Like a boy who refused to work with anyone.

Like me- wounded, furious, fresh off a breakup. Standing up and choosing the one person who swore he'd never choose anyone at all.

And that...
was where everything began.
