He had never known peace — not in the streets that raised him, nor in the silence that followed every shattered dream. Life had always been a brutal rhythm of hunger, cold nights, and empty promises. He didn’t ask for more. He had stopped asking long ago.
But one rainy morning, everything shifted.
A woman from his past returned — eyes heavy with secrets, holding a child that bore his face. She said the girl was his. She said they needed him.
And just like that, his world grew louder, stranger… warmer.
They were a broken trio bound by blood, shadow, and something else neither of them could name. For the first time in years, he felt something like purpose.
But purpose comes with a price.
And some children are born carrying more than innocence.
Some are born carrying fate.
