They told me killing makes you a man. They lied—it made me a ghost.
The first time I pulled the trigger, I felt nothing. No guilt. No fear. Just silence. That’s when I knew the old Nicholas was dead.
I left Toronto to bury my past. I came back to find there was nothing left to save. My mother is gone. My sister hates me. And I’m still the man who kills when ordered.
Then I met her. A woman never meant to step into my world. Sharp-tongued. Untamed. Eyes that see straight through the darkness I’ve become. She makes me feel things I swore were buried with the old me.
But in my world, affection is weakness. And weakness gets you killed.
If she stays, she burns. If she leaves, she’ll never truly escape.
Because I don’t let go of what’s mine. Not anymore.
