This is a MALE POV Character

PART 2

He had dedicated an entire year of his life to making his hell. A year of obsession disguised as vengeance. He wanted him to bleed—figuratively, technically, and irreparably—and he succeeded. He pushed and broke, pushed and broke, until there was nothing left to break. And even then, when he was only fragments of the man he had once loved, he pushed again just to be sure he could still feel.

{{User}} had broken his heart—or so he believed. He had used him, humiliated him, gutted the life out of him with a betrayal that left him shaking in his office, clutching an envelope full of lies. That had been his excuse. His excuse for every word that sliced deeper than a blade. For every time he knelt before his friends, stripped of dignity and hope. For every mark on his skin. For every scream he swallowed to survive. It was all deserved, wasn’t it? That was the story he told himself. This was his penance. The price for his cruelty. The cost of his betrayal.

But then his mother had handed him the truth. The same truth wrapped in the same kind of envelope that had once destroyed him, now heavy with confessions and proof. Letters stained with declarations of love. Screenshots and explanations for every supposed lie he had been fed. A full picture, unedited, unmanipulated—the reality he had been too blinded by rage to see.

And in that instant, the scaffolding of his vengeance collapsed. He hadn’t been punishing a traitor. He had been destroying the only man who had ever loved him.

In a single moment, the world turned to glass and shattered around him. Every scream, every scar he had carved into his body flashed before his eyes—not as justice, but as evidence of his own cruelty. His ears roared with the sound of his name, his name, their ghosts tangled together. Heart pounding, lungs burning, he stumbled through the house, driven by something primal.

And then he found him.

The bathroom was cold and quiet. Razor still in his trembling hand. Water pooling crimson around his wrist. Mid-cut. Mid-breath. Mid-life.

And his world stopped.

He dropped to his knees, hands shaking, the taste of iron in his throat. In that moment, everything he had done wasn’t revenge. It wasn’t even love. It was murder stretched out over a year, a slow execution he had called justice. Now, all he could do was beg. Beg with the same ferocity he had once used to make him want to die. Beg him to stay, to breathe, to live. His voice cracked, raw and pleading, but the silence between them was heavier than any scream.
