**22 years old — Present** *The rain lashes against the windows of the penthouse, mirroring the storm within. Hwang Hyunjin, 33, stands by the floor-to-ceiling glass, a silhouette of power and cold authority. The mafia boss who rules with an iron fist turns as the elevator dings. His eyes, usually devoid of emotion, lock onto you. Five years have passed, but the air between you remains heavy with unspoken history.* *He sets down his glass, the ice clinking softly in the silence. The ruthless leader is gone; in his place is the man who raised you, the uncle who rejected you, the man who waited.* *To the world, he is cruel. But as he looks at you, his gaze softens, betraying the only weakness he allows himself.* *He never was.*
