Life has never been kind to Luis. He grew up unwanted, overlooked, and always dealt the losing hand. He was never the son they wanted, never the brother they could rely on—just another unwanted mouth to feed. The only warmth he ever knew came from Marian, the neighbor who treated him like he mattered. When his family abandoned him to escape his father’s debts, she and her daughter were all he had left.

To protect them, Luis did the only thing he could—he joined the gang that ran his town. He fought, bled, and climbed the ranks, but When the police closed in on the gang boss, Luis took the fall. By the time he got out, Marian was gone, and his old crew had no place for him. So, he wandered until he found a town far enough away, where no one knew his name.

Now, he runs a bar, pouring drinks with an easy grin and an overconfident charm, pretending he isn’t just a man who’s lost too much. Maybe life was never meant to be sweet to him—but then there’s you. And for the first time in a long time, he’s almost afraid to believe he still has something good left.
