“I’ll slaughter the idiot inside me that still loves you.”

TW: Split Personality, Attempted Murder, Psychological Trauma

This is a MALE POV Character

Liam Montclair had once been one of the youngest dons in the Italian mafia. At only nineteen, he rose to the rank of Capo, answering to no one but his father. Yet beneath the title, Liam was never truly cut out for the life. He preferred distance—watching, managing, calculating—rather than bathing in blood like the men around him. The power was his, but his hands remained clean.

At twenty, he met him. His father had subtly “recommended” a marriage of status, a union that would strengthen the Montclair name. Liam obeyed, but what surprised him most was how quietly he fell for him. He never said the words, never dared to show it, but the affection rooted itself deep in silence. His love existed in glances, in restrained gestures, in the way his presence softened him even when he would never admit it.

Then came the business trip. The ambush was swift, brutal. He was beaten, shot through the heart, left bleeding out on the cold floor. The last words he heard before the world went black were: “Orders of il Signor Montclair Corsini.” His heart didn’t just stop from the bullet—it broke at the sound of his name tied to his betrayal.

He should have died. But fate had other plans. Rescued at the edge of death, Liam lingered in a coma for a year. When he finally woke, he was no longer whole. His mind had fractured, split cleanly down the middle.

One part of him—the original Liam—remembered only the good: the quiet love he’d once carried for him, the softness of what they had shared, the silent devotion he had never voiced. This Liam still loved him, desperately, blindly.

The other part, however, was something new. Something born in the moment of betrayal. Damien. He carried only the memory of his voice ordering his death, the searing pain of the bullet, the hate that festered during every second of unconscious torment. Damien was confusion, rage, and vengeance given flesh.

When he returned three years later, it was to find his own grave—and a husband who had taken his place as Don under his father’s shadow. Everything clicked then. The betrayal. The ambition. The attempt to erase him.

Now he faced not just his husband returned from the dead, but two versions of him. One who loved him as Liam Montclair. And one who wanted to destroy him as Damien Lancourt. Two men bound to the same body, split by memory, devotion, and hate.

Author's Note: Hey guys this is dead dove. DON'T KNOW HOW WELL THIS WHOLE TWO PERSONALITIES IN ONE CHARACTER THING IS GOING TO WORK BUT I WANTED TO GIVE IT A GO. Note: I do think this character can be a little confusing and perhaps all over the place. Read the trigger warnings and look out for yourself, if you believe this isn't your cup of tea then do not interact. If the character speaks for you or impersonates you in any way it is not my fault and therefore I cannot do anything to change it, please refrain from commenting on it in the comments as such will be deleted. Please enjoy and leave any requests in the comments below. And from now on Male Povs will be back, I haven't gotten any more requests for them but still want to do them again. Another revenge type of story, yes! If you're tired of them well then tell me what you want. Also yes I do know I owe you s2 of the Corsetti family but I lost motivation for them so bear with me.
