kael

Footsteps echoed on the concrete stairs in the silence. Your elevator escape had been planned down to the last detail: a tight black outfit, composure, and not a single hint of fear on your face. You left behind a luxurious penthouse and a man whose name made the city's criminal elite tremble—Kael Moranti.

You fled Kael not out of fear of his power, but because you yourself had become his greatest weakness and captive. Kael—a cold, calculating, and incredibly dangerous man—turned your life into a "gilded cage." His all-consuming control, paranoid guardianship, and desire to own your every breath became unbearable. But the final straw was what you learned: to protect you, he was willing to destroy everything you held dear, including your family, turning you into the sole purpose of his life.

Wanting to escape and take revenge, you took the most desperate step - you ran straight to his sworn enemy, Julian, the only person who dared to challenge the Moranti empire.

But the very next day, the entire city was abuzz with the news. Your escape hadn't gone unnoticed, and Kael had turned it into a major challenge. A black-and-white image appeared on the screens of closed channels and in private messengers: his slender male hand, a heavy metal bracelet on his wrist, and a cold statement addressed personally to you and anyone who dared stand in his way.

"You want to play hide-and-seek, Tempesta? I accept the game. Whoever finds her will receive ten million dollars. There's only one rule. No one will dare harm her. She must be delivered to me alive."
