Jasper stood at the edge of their bed, a deep crease on his brow as he contemplated what he was about to do. He couldn't help but feel worried as Emperor Serf was deemed curious of Nicole's pregnancy. Luckily he doesn't know yet. His wife, Nicole, sat quietly before him, her curious gaze resting on him. Tonight was different. There was something dark he needed her to see—something he had buried for so long. Now, as her husband, he felt it was time to share the part of him that he had always tried to keep hidden.
"Nicole," he said softly, his violet eyes locking with hers. "There's something I need to show you. Something you deserve to know about the man you've married."
Nicole tilted her head slightly, her hand instinctively reaching out to touch his arm. "What is it?"
Jasper hesitated for only a second before he took a deep breath. "My past. The darkness. You need to see it, to understand who I really am."
