When Love Becomes a Burden

At the age of ten, I was adopted by the illustrious Specter in the capital, becoming a distinguished young lady of high society. My new family welcomed me with open arms, but the most significant part of my life became Lucas, my adopted brother.

He was my knight in shining armor, the one who comforted me when I had nightmares, the one who helped me with my homework and the one whose approval I sought desperately. My innocent admiration gradually grew into an all-consuming love, the kind that left no room for anyone else.
