He Took My Life, So I Took Him Instead

Two children were never meant to live each other's lives.

Switched at birth, one was raised in wealth-loved, protected, and given everything.

The other grew up in suffering-starved, beaten, and forgotten.

At the age of twelve, the truth was revealed.

He was never their child.

The life he endured... was never meant to be his.

And somewhere out there, the one who took his place was living the life that should have been his.

Years later, everything was returned to its rightful place.

The real young master reclaimed his name, his family, and his position.

The fake one lost everything.

Cast out of the family registry, he became nothing more than an outsider-

someone who no longer belonged anywhere.

But the man who once had nothing...

refused to let him go.

"You think this ends just because the truth came out?"

A hand tightened around his wrist.

"You lived my life for years..."

His voice dropped, cold and unreadable.

"So now, you'll stay by my side."

Not as a brother.

But as something far more dangerous.

Bound by a past neither of them chose-

what began as resentment slowly twists into something deeper...

something possessive,

something inescapable,

something that feels dangerously close to love.
