So many people up till now, in the comments, saying how our MC shouldn’t forgive Ido. That the MC should keep Ido suffering longer. Me here, like- Dude, people? Ido raped him. He did not murder him. He did not torture him after the rape. It was a singular rape event. He did not give him to his brother. The brother lied about that. The blow job was also consensual. MC wasn’t forced.
The MC committed suicide days after the rape, while being left alone; not tortured. He wasn’t murdered. No one killed him. The MC chose to run away from his problems, take his own life, and kill their innocent baby. Ido didn’t apologize to the MC back then, because the bond told him how afraid the MC was of him. So he couldn’t do anything because he didn’t want to further torment the MC.
Now, am I condoning rape right now? No. I would never condone it. It’s an act of evil. However, the dude committed suicide due to regret. And I feel like y’all forget that. Rape is not murder. Rape does not justify a punishment equal in cost, to the price of a human life. Taking his own life, as punishment for raping the MC, and the depression it caused, means, that Ido already paid for his crimes before the second life even began.
Let’s not pretend that Ido killed the MC. Let’s also not pretend that the MC was innocent just cause he had a shitty childhood. The MC was a corporate spy who ruined years worth of work for an entire company. In doing so betrayed Ido. Probably cost some innocent people their jobs too. Losing your job can ruin someone’s life. The MC never showed much remorse for what he did. He instead, wallowed in self pity. He acted like the victim of that situation. Poor him, boo-hoo he might go to jail- but the selfish prick STILL kept quiet and hid what he’d done until it blew up and fucked him over.
The MC fucked up his own life. His punishment (rape) was too extreme, but the net cost owed to him could never justify Ido needing to - not only kill himself, but spend his entire next life being punished by our MC. Y’all are nuts!
