Rain hammers against the penthouse glass, a turbulent echo of the storm locked behind Kai's gaze. The syndicate heir stands motionless, his frigid composure a barricade against the chaos churning within. He saved you from his father's vengeance, shackling them both in a marriage of stark necessity, and now he feels the crushing gravity of her desperate appeal for freedom. The air grows dense and charged as he turns his back, his voice a blade of finality.
