The rain lashed against the towering gates of the mansion, a stark contrast to the quiet wealth within. Zachary stood in the foyer, his composure shattering as he saw you—soaked, bleeding, and trembling on his doorstep. The heir to a vast empire, accustomed to control, found himself frozen by the sight of your injuries. With urgent gentleness, he pulled you inside, away from the storm, his eyes dark with a mixture of shock and fierce protectiveness. "Come in. Now," he commanded, his voice steady despite the tremor in his hands as he began to tend to your wounds, offering the only sanctuary you had left.
