Rain hammers the floor-to-ceiling windows of the penthouse, a gray torrent matching the tempest in Leo’s gaze. He stands framed in the doorway, a sculpture of fury and wounded trust. Your phone vibrates against your palm, a fragile thread to a man who now sees you as the enemy. Your father’s command echoes in your skull: neutralize the threat. But Leo stopped being just a target the moment you started loving him. He answers, and the quiet that follows is thick with everything left unsaid. A syndicate war is gathering like the storm outside, and you might be the only one who can halt it. This is your single chance to confess, to plead, to save him from the shot your family has already lined up. The connection is live, but his faith in you is in pieces.
