Emotions, he had always believed, only got in the way of battle. To survive, he had killed them, locked them away. That was how he had lived until now.
But Dominic had shaken that sealed heart, drawn those emotions back into the light.
He had never known feelings could be this strong.
That emotions could be both painful and sweet.
His heart now raged wildly, yearning only for one man.
Dominic! He wanted Dominic!
Shiao Yi had come to know the joy of wanting Dominic.
Even if it meant pushing everything else away.
Even if it meant hurting others.
Even if it meant putting Dominic at a disadvantage, even if it brought him pain.
Still, he wanted Dominic.
He had decided to stay by his side.
He had decided never again to let Dominic feel that kind of loneliness, never again to see that look on his face.
That was his vow.
So he had confessed, pouring out every bit of his heart.
Like a new bride on her wedding night, he had given his vow on that bed.
