Absence doesn’t make the heart grow fonder. It only fills it with resentment and regret. Nineteen years ago, I lost the love of my life for four dangerous reasons. Power. Control. Money. Love. These forces don’t just break hearts; they shatter lives, and mine was no exception. Left irreparably scarred, I vowed never to be vulnerable again. I fortified my defective heart against heartbreak while channeling my energy into amassing an abundance of power, mastering control, and accumulating wealth. Love? It’s a treacherous illusion, a game for fools; something I’ve become far too cynical to truly let it in. That, and time doesn’t heal all wounds. Far from it. What I am is defective and proud. Having embraced my flaws, I wear my scars and cynicism defiantly, determined to live my life on my own terms — the best revenge to strive for. Until an unconventional proposition slithers into my world, a dangerous and ill-timed offer in a treacherous game, but one impossible to ignore. Turning it down was the most gut-wrenching decision I ever had to make, but I did so anyway — for her. For the woman my defective heart still beats for. And the tsunami that shreds everything in its path, including the fragile threads holding my barely stitched-together heart.
