There was probably a situation where the MC was raped or taken to the dead father against his will and the LI thinks he was betrayed after being promised a forever and saying he was pregnant. There’s probably some other kind of manipulation by the family that made the situation so bad that the MC couldn’t do anything but go with the lie and make Winston hate him at the time. This is probably what the family doesn’t want him to know because then he would take everything from the family (he is probably the alpha head of the family now in charge of their whole business or estate) and go to the MC.
Oh yeah,,, I’m definitely sure something like that happened based on what the family was saying about the family “secret” or whatever there’s has to be a lot of manipulation going on… but I think im just trying to understand how bad the family would have manipulated the situation for Winston to point a gun at uke’s head (when you point a gun at someone’s head you are literally wishing death upon them, you have the upper hand) like there are so many other ways you can be mad at someone but not kill them (he literally just could’ve told him to get his ass out of the room….
Wait… my reply was so much longer idk where the rest of it went but yeah basically I don’t know how you can hate someone so much to want to kill them just for being a hoe LOL. Even in the ML perspective I understand betrayal but I ain’t gonna point a gun at someone’s head and kill them just bc they slept with my dad and betrayed me you can’t hate someone but killing is on another level. But yeah thanks for your thoughts! Interested in seeing how this story pans out :)
Yeah, idk, people who grow up around guns are different… (had a lot of people “joke” about shooting me if I did something bad when I studied abroad in Texas, and all the kids in my class handled guns after school and would point them this way and that way). I agree with you that it’s actually how severe it should be, and it is probably a case of severe trauma in the story as well, but also that gun culture along with hyper masculinity makes people not see guns as something serious. Which could also be something the author is trying to depict. Tons of guns and military men in their stories (that take place in the US)

Umm… if the man I loved (or used to love) pointed a gun to my head several times, and called me a whore… it’s over. I’m curious to see how the story is going to redeem Winston bc idk a gun to my head is quite unforgivable in my book. like wth he pointed the gun again even after uke said he had a child. How can you fall in love with someone like that again.
