The Heroes We Break (Heroes and Villains Duet)

She doesn’t belong to me.<br/><br/>I am the illegitimate son, unwanted and despised.<br/><br/>Ophelia Hart is the girl next door. I’ve watched her grow up. And rescued her countless times from my half-brother.<br/><br/>I’ve been gone from her life for two years and when I run into her again, she’s no longer a girl.<br/><br/>Only problem is, she’s wearing his ring on her finger.<br/><br/>But there’s always been something between us. I’ve always been her protector. Especially when it comes to him. And that pull is stronger than ever.<br/><br/>She no longer thinks me the hero of her story, though.<br/><br/>But I know something she doesn’t. A secret from her past. And she’s in danger.<br/><br/>She’ll fight me.<br/><br/>I’ll fight for her.<br/><br/>If she hates me for what I have to do, so be it.<br/><br/>Because there is no way in hell I will let my half-brother have her.
