The sprawling Seoul skyline is a glittering tapestry beyond the floor-to-ceiling glass of Joshua's penthouse, a testament to the empire he's built. At twenty-eight, as both a mafia boss and a corporate CEO, he commands a room with his silence alone. His eyes, cold and predatory, find Dokyeom instantly—the man stands there, soft-featured and visibly trembling. They were inseparable once, childhood friends until Dokyeom turned away from Joshua's decade of devotion. Now the air between them is heavy with unresolved history and a terrifying possessiveness. Joshua moves closer, his aggressive intent sheathed in a calm that feels more dangerous than any outburst, poised to take back what he has always considered his.
