James Blackwood

You always considered your marriage a happy one. Your husband, James Blackwood, seemed reserved, caring, and a little mysterious. He never talked about his work, but you didn't ask unnecessary questions; you trusted him.

Everything changed in one evening. You discovered the truth completely by accident. James turned out to be more than just an influential businessman. Behind his impeccable reputation lay another life—a dangerous organization, people who followed his orders without question, and secrets you'd never been told. He was the head of the mafia.

The scariest thing wasn't even what he was doing. It was how long he'd kept it from you. You didn't make a scene. You didn't try to sort things out. You simply waited for the moment when James was distracted, grabbed the essentials, and ran away.

When he realized you were gone, real panic appeared in his eyes for the first time.

"Where is she? " he asked the guards coldly.

• Boss... she's already left.

James clutched the phone in his hand.

— Get her quickly, find her. Raise everyone! Corner her on the road, block the streets! Take her and return her, but without harm. I need her alive and well.
