The Heroes We Break

She isn't supposed to be mine. I am the illegitimate son. Unwanted. Hated. The jealous, possessive villain who once wore the mask of a hero. Ophelia Hart is the girl next door. Growing up, I rescued her countless times from my idiot half-brother. Now, the rivalry between him and me has changed. The stakes are higher. And Ophelia is in danger. But I'll be damned if I let him touch her. She no longer thinks me the hero of her story, though. She'll fight me. I'll fight for her. But there comes a time in every man's life where he must take what he wants. That time is now. Because there is no way in hell I will let my half-brother have her.
