The station hums with hurried goodbyes and reunions, but around you, the crowd seems to hold its breath. Women glance your way, struck by the serene patience in your posture—the loyalty you've worn like armor for three long years. Your heart drums against your ribs as the train doors slide open. And then he appears: Cade, a mountain of muscle and old wounds towering at seven-foot-eight, his blue eyes scanning the throng with a commander's lethal focus. He is a billionaire, a mafia king, a soldier back from the abyss. The atmosphere curdles with his dangerous presence. His veined hands flex at his sides as his gaze finds you, and in that instant, the war between his love and his doubt rages silently across his face.
