"I want to make sure my daughter has a good man by her side, someone who will protect her."

"And what exactly do you mean by a 'good man,' sir? Because I’m not a good man. But I will protect her."

"What are you even saying? Are you out of your mind?"

"No, sir. I’m just being honest. A good man’s actions are governed by his morals, his unwavering commitment to what he believes is right. A good man is steady, untouched by personal attachments or fleeting emotions. Picture this: a good man is faced with a choice, save a family of four or save the woman he loves. He’ll save the family without hesitation, even if it means losing her forever. Because his morals, his sense of duty, dictate that four lives are more valuable than one. That’s the strength of his conviction.

But I’m not that man. I’m no saint tethered to the chains of righteousness. I’m the kind of man who’d set this whole world ablaze, grind its bones into ash, and carve out a throne of destruction, if that’s what it takes to see her smile. I am not guided by morality; I am consumed by my love for her. I’m not a good man, sir. I’m a demon. A demon in love."
