Chapter 14 - Damian Finally Told Me He Loved Me—But I Made Him Earn the Right to StayHe told me the truth.
He loved me.
Not because I was connected to his father's enemy.
Not because of my father's secrets.
Not because I could control him.
Because I had seen him when everyone else only saw the monster.
I told him I couldn't forget his past.
He said he didn't want me to.
“I don't want you to love a version of me that never existed.”
I asked:
“What do you want?”
He answered:
May you like
“A chance to become someone worthy of you.”
I gave him one.
