## Chapter

### Summary
This chapter pivots sharply into dark, violent territory, revealing the disturbing backstory of Kyle and his brother, Gale. Through what appears to be a flashback, Gale is established as a psychopathic and murderous figure, with readers reacting in horror to his actions, which include torturing his own brother. This reveal recasts Gale as an irredeemable antagonist and provides context for Kyle’s past as a mercenary, a detail some readers find out of place. The chapter’s main focus is on this brutal history, solidifying the Hackman family's dangerous nature. However, this dramatic development is overshadowed by intense reader frustration regarding the ongoing narrative focus on Kyle's ex, Helen. Many readers express exhaustion and anger over the repetitive discussions of their decade-old relationship, feeling it undermines the current romance. A significant portion of the audience is deeply disappointed in Kyle's character, criticizing his continued ambiguity about his past feelings for Helen and his perceived failure to properly commit to or validate his relationship with Iliyan after so much shared trauma and intimacy. The execution of this romantic subplot is seen as a major flaw, cheapening the main pairing and causing some to lose faith in Kyle as a romantic lead.
