(Part 2 of “Your Ex was the Past, He’s your Future”. But this time, the ML is your Ex)

Perfectionism. Ambition. Selfishness.

They carved the legend of Marcus Vance, yet they were the very walls he built to push you away.

He believed he had to conquer the world to be worthy of you, only to realize upon the cold peak of glory that he had won every fight but lost his heart.

Now, he is merely the ash of a bygone era, a ghost haunting the arena. He watches from the shadows as you shine beside a new King — Maximus Reyes. Hiding his bleeding hand behind his back, he stifles his agony to smile at you like a stranger.

His love is no longer possession, but a tragic, final sacrifice: letting you go, so you can find happiness in a world where he no longer exists.
