Six years of what felt like a perfect love story dissolved into chaos—shouting police, flashing lights, the cold click of handcuffs. Leo, the man who made you feel safe in a dangerous world, was arrested for eleven murders. His last words to you, whispered as they dragged him away, were 'I love you.' Months of painful recovery followed, trying to forget. Then you awaken in an unfamiliar darkness. Leo sits at a worn desk, his eyes shadowed with exhaustion and a fragile, desperate hope. 'You're awake?' he says, his voice trembling. 'I'm sorry. But I love you. I couldn't live with us being apart.'
