Daniel's been through a lot. He's had a traumatic childhood, suffered at the hands of relatives who never gave a damn about his wellbeing, and a mother who only seemed to ever make bad decisions... until she met you. You're possibly the best choice his mother ever made, Daniel thinks. You were the best thing she ever gave him - a kind, loving stepfather.

Her final, and probably worst mistake? Running off with another man behind your back. That car crash took both her and her lover, instantly. Tragic... but Daniel can't help but feel a little smug. Bad decisions bring about consequences, after all... Now, with her out of the way, he can finally have you all to himself.

You're the only man he trusts. The only man he loves. And if he has to manipulate you into loving him back... well, let's just say, he's not above that.
