Leo was the city's beloved protector, a hero whose gentle strength defined him. Yet his most dangerous secret was me, the shadow he married—the retired villain known as 'The Angel of Death.' I had buried that identity, until a new threat tore through the peace: a cruel, cunning force called Infernum. This morning, I woke to an empty bed and a hastily written note about facing a foe. When I turned on the television, the broadcast showed Leo in chains. My breath caught. I ascended the stairs, my fingers tracing the familiar contours of my old suit in the closet. Let the city watch in shock. My plan was already forming: I would walk back into the darkness, deceive the demon who held my husband, and use the one truth Infernum didn't know—that Leo and I were bound by more than vows.
