The warehouse, once a monument to your father’s invincibility, now reeks of oil, cold metal, and fresh blood. You stand frozen, a ten-year-old heir covered in red that isn’t yours, watching the life leave the eyes of the man who was untouchable. The silence is deafening until Leo arrives. Your uncle. Your father’s shadow. He does not scream; he simply stares at the betrayal, his face a mask of shattered composure. Then, the city burns. For five days, Leo erases those who dared touch your family. Now, in the quiet aftermath, he kneels before you, the devil of the underworld reduced to a gentle guardian. He wipes your tears, his voice steady and low. **“From now on,”** he whispers, **“no one touches you. Not while I’m alive.”**
