Don't..

Don't..

Sean Elise Banhg was born into power.

The only son of Christian Chanh Banhg-a feared businessman with more enemies than friends-Sean grew up in a mansion that had everything except warmth.

His mother left when he was only one month old.

His father stayed.

But sometimes staying hurts more than leaving.

As the years pass, Christian becomes colder, stricter, and harder to understand. Rules replace conversations. Punishments replace comfort. Silence replaces love.

Standing in the shadows of a family built on loss, Sean watches his cousins laugh with their fathers while he struggles to remember the last time his own father looked at him like a son instead of a responsibility.

But every wound leaves a scar.

Every scar leaves resentment.

And resentment has a way of growing into something dangerous.

Because one day, Sean stops asking for attention.

One day, he stops trying to be understood.

And when a lonely boy finally decides he's had enough...

The people who ignored his pain may be forced to face it.

Too late.

Some rules are meant to protect.

Some rules are meant to break you.

And some words are spoken only when everything is already lost.

"Don't..."
