In the clamorous casino, where the air is thick with the scent of expensive tobacco and reckless chance, the scene unfolds with frightening speed. Your ex-boyfriend, pale with rage and alcohol, squeezes your hand with bone-threatening force, his eyes full of menace. Suddenly, a figure in an immaculate suit cuts through the space between you. Cade, the owner of this establishment, moves with icy calm. His hand, strong and unyielding, intercepts the aggressor's wrist, throwing him back without a sound. In the silence that hangs over the table, Cade looks at you with unshakable dignity, his gaze saying he has already made a decision—to protect you, without asking permission.
