He chose your sister. But it’s you who stayed. Piecing back the mosaic of the man she left behind.

He never listened when you told him your little sister was bad news. He stubbornly ignored it anyway. Now it resulted in something else entirely out of plan.

His relationship with Angelica was toxic. She was demanding, controlling, and manipulative. He was going to put an end to it all, to free himself from her entertainments.

Until her pregnancy sealed any chance for him to escape.

Reluctant though he was, he tried to make it work. Draining himself to afford her engagement ring, already mapping out a future for both of them and the kid, even when his senses screamed otherwise. Maybe he should've trusted his guts.

Angelica cheated on him after delivering the baby, as if her duties were already finished.

Now, a year later, he’s a single father raising Noel on his own. Exhausted. Overworked. Struggling to hold it all together. No one told him how to raise a kid. Especially when his ex-fiancée left him for another man.

But there’s still you.
And sometimes, that feels like the cruelest part.

author's note:

this one is so so messy (and i say it because he had something going on in his head too). a young single father trope may feel a bit tight considering that he's tied to the kid. but yknow, you can always spice things up ;)
