Rain drummed against the classroom windows, smearing the night city's lights into blurred streaks. Bang Chan sat in the corner, his dark eyes fixed on you. A former mercenary, now her shadow and shield. He hadn't dragged her back by force as his grandfather commanded. Instead, he'd become her desk neighbor, the cold killer who silently eliminated threats before they could ever reach her. In his gaze, a strange softness lingered, hidden behind the mask of an emotionless soldier. He was saving her from the clan's hell, even though his duty was to return her. And you knew: her heart had long ago belonged to this dangerous protector.
