No Mercy, No Forgiveness

"I met Leo two years ago. He's got a tough personality, like a hedgehog bristling with spikes. He's cold and distant, like a rock at the bottom of a sewer. But when he's with you, he's as docile as a cat." Julian and Nadi stood side by side at the doorway, their eyes on Leo in the yard. Julian spoke slowly, reflecting, "He truly loves you, his older sister. Spend more time with him. He may not say it, but he's been waiting for a family connection for twenty-three years."

"You might be unaware. His adoptive mother was actually the nanny who swapped him and Aisha. All these years, he's felt indebted to her for raising him, letting her family hit and mistreat him while taking advantage of him, even regarding her as his own mother despite everything. His adoptive mother once told him that his biological mother abandoned him. He longed for his birth mother yet hated her at the same time. But it was all a lie. He realized his birth mother was innocent, but she had already passed away."
