People say monsters hide in the dark.
They're wrong.
Some monsters walk in daylight wearing perfect suits and charming smiles.
I didn't know that when I first met him.
I was just a bookstore assistant trying to live a quiet life...
until a stranger burst through the door, bleeding and desperate.
That stranger was Lucien Vale.
I helped him.
I shouldn't have.
Because the men chasing him weren't ordinary criminals.
They belonged to the most ruthless crime empire in the city.
And Lucien wasn't their victim.
He was something far worse.
A man they feared.
A man they wanted dead.
Now I'm trapped in the middle of a war I never asked for.
Lucien is dangerous cold, calculating, and completely ruthless.
The terrifying part?
He doesn't deny it.
He watches me like a hunter studying his prey.
Like he's already decided I belong to him.
I try to escape his world.
I try to stay away from him.
But Lucien Vale doesn't let things go once they catch his interest.
Especially not people.
And the deeper I fall into his darkness, the more I realize something horrifying:
The criminals chasing him may not be the real monsters.
Lucien Vale might be.
And the worst mistake I ever made...
Was letting him see me.
Because monsters don't forget.
And they never stop hunting.
