"You're a person. You don't belong to me or anyone else. My father wouldn't consider you property either." Niall had his issues but he wasn't a bad person. Ronan looked saddened. "He's...just trying to fix me. He doesn't know how. I wouldn't let you be that, a thing that someone owns." He looked away and sighed. "It's your choice. I won't force you. Guess I would just ask you to think about that a little more because it kind of seems like you are already property and that master doesn't treat you how you deserve."
