Love from the ashes

Love, Betrayal, Blood, but not Hatred. Only cold revenge, and a son to complete the family. "D" Section, a nonexistent military unit. "D" for dark, "D" for depth, "D"... for death. It demanded no attachment, and Daemon sacrificed love for it. Years later, the death of his teammates made him feel that he had done enough for the country, so he came back to the city he grew in. But can what has been forsaken be gained back? Because now Evelyn, the one to have breathed vitality in his numb, orphaned heart, had her own life, and a little boy calling her mother. Also, while he left his life full of dead bodies behind, did that life really let him go? From the ashes, will it love or... ? _ _ _ Two lovers who still love each other even with scars left behind by past events. They narrowly miss a chance to meet again and rekindle the lost spark, with him left with an empty heart, and her with her pain renewed, only buried because of the sun of her life, her son, their son… that he knew nothing about. They each continue with their own life in their own way. Their paths even almost become parallel to each other, almost taking the opposite direction with new commitments. But fate be damned, even if it now seems to push them toward each other. From the ashes, their love shall blaze anew. Or maybe not. Find the answer yourself. ___ First draft of characters image on my discord, a channel for fans to get together: https://discord.com/invite/C86EJvCJdd Comment and review, don't forget.

139 - From the ashes

"Why is that?"

Maybe he deserved to be called an idiot, but Daemon let his mind rest along with his heart, as he waited for Evelyn to help him understand the situation, to help understand her.

With her tears threatening to come out once again, Evelyn hugged Daemon more fiercely.

"Do you know how afraid I was when I saw the face you made this morning? Do you know how hard it has been to hide everything with a smile? Do you know how I fought against the feeling of the ground giving way beneath me, afraid that something like what happened six years ago would happen again? You just made me a promise last night, you idiot!"

Evelyn paused to take a breath before saying in a lower tone full of pain, relief and complaints:

"You are an idiot. Can't we just talk normally? Why can't you be straightforward and take the simpler route? Why must you–"

When Daemon strengthened his hug and spoke, Evelyn stopped talking.

"Sorry."
