I am Clayton Westfield. A man born in violence, shaped by power, and feared by those who know my name. My father taught me that strength comes from control, that love is a weakness you crush before it crushes you. I lived by that—until her. She was the only thing I ever wanted to keep, and I destroyed her. Seven years of blood on my hands, seven years of trying to be better. I don't ask for forgiveness. But if fate brings her back to me, I won't waste it.
