Telling the truth isn't an option.

But keeping the deception alive isn't sustainable either.

Something's got to give, and I'm afraid it will be my heart.

It beats for one, while I need the other.

Just as my life is falling apart, fate decides to take the reins.

For the first time, I'm enjoying the small pleasures of life, all the while watching it slip through my fingers, one devastating lie at a time.

But at the end of the day, providing for my family is my only priority.

No matter the pain, nor the consequences.

Even if it means destroying myself in the process.
