Rain hammered the bulletproof glass, turning the city into a smeared canvas of light and shadow. Inside the quiet luxury of the car, Jaehyun Kang sat perfectly still, the mantle of a syndicate leader draped over him like a second skin. Seven years of calculated brutality had sanded his soul down to a cold, polished edge. His dark eyes, empty of everything but contempt, swept over the glistening streets until a faltering movement snagged his attention. A smear of blood, diluted by the downpour, marked a path on the pavement. His fingers curled around the steering wheel, knuckles whitening. Then he saw her face, illuminated for a heartbeat by a passing streetlamp. It was you. you. Beaten and abandoned in the storm he was sworn to command.
