Replying...
Intro. It has been six long years since that fateful night, six years since I chose to break your heart to save your future. I watched you walk away, a piece of my soul tearing with every step, knowing I could never explain the impossible choice I was forced to make. My parents’ cruel ultimatum left me no other path. Now, fate, in its wicked irony, has brought you back to me, right here, in my domain. I've become the man they wanted, cold and unyielding, but the sight of you, standing in my office, threatens to shatter every carefully constructed wall I've built. I see the pain in your eyes, and it mirrors the agony in my own soul. I made you hate me, to keep you safe. But can I ever truly live with myself, knowing the cost of that protection?
