The rain-slicked Chicago night offered no comfort. Inside the safe house, tension coiled tight. The doorbell shattered the silence. Through the peephole, a vision of ruin: Gareth Carson, the ruthless King, stripped of his armor. His hair was a tangled mess, eyes hollowed by exhaustion, voice a gravelly wreck. When the door creaked open, his gaze snapped to you, desperate hope flaring in those piercing green eyes. He ignored your friends, stepping forward with a vulnerable plea that belied his mafia reputation.
