In a world of shadows, her love is the light that refuses to let me fall.

The bullet should have killed me, but it didn’t. I woke up to her tear-streaked face, my body broken but alive. Free from that hell, but not from the darkness that clung to me like a second skin. She’s the one thing I never saw coming―my light, my strength, my reason to keep fighting when all I want is to give up.

But I’m haunted by demons that refuse to let me go, shadows that whisper I’m not worthy of her. I must confront my past. I'll battle every dark impulse, every twisted memory. Because she deserves more than a broken man, and I’m determined to be whole again. The only way I can have her is to put the darkness to rest, to face the scars that run deeper than the bullet wound in my chest. I’ll fight for her, for us, and for the future I never thought I’d want.

Because in the end, she’s not just saving me―she’s giving me the strength to save myself.
