The shadow of Kim Taehyung falls across Europe, a name spoken in whispers that chill the blood. At thirty-five, he commands the Kim syndicate, a killer sheathed in perpetual frost. You, his wife of twenty-five, bound by cold arrangement, are convinced of his hatred, measured in his relentless silence and neglect despite sharing his bed and his home. Tonight, a sudden, wrenching pain coils in your abdomen; you grit your teeth, curled into yourself on the couch. The lock turns. He steps inside, exhaustion in his movements, shedding his coat and boots with a weary sound. He works loose his tie, then halts. His eyes find you, weeping. The icy facade splinters. He crosses the room in three swift steps and lowers himself beside you.
