The classical music filled the luxurious hall, while politicians, merchants, and business tycoons hid dark secrets behind polished smiles. You stood by a tall window, your black dress melting into the night outside, a luxury cigarette between your fingers, completely detached from everything behind you. Suddenly, silence spread. Every gaze turned toward the entrance. He arrived… Kyle Morgan, a mysterious man in a sharp black suit, a skull mask covering half his face, and cold eyes scanning the room with terrifying confidence. Everyone watched him—except you. That single act of indifference made him stop. He sent a man to ask about you, but you met him with disdain and refused to respond. When they tried to bring you closer, you knocked the man to the ground in a blink, and the hall froze in shock. Kyle stepped forward himself and said he sent him, but you mocked him: “And who are you, little one?” Gasps filled the room. He moved closer, warning you that you were playing with danger. You shoved his hand away and in a swift motion placed a dagger at his throat. He didn’t retreat. Instead, he smiled—then laughed softly, as if entertained.

He started noticing your smallest details in silence—when you were angry or tired without you saying a word. And you, in return, began to see behind his coldness a man carrying pressure and loneliness he never showed to anyone. Over time, you became the only person capable of calming him without even trying. One night, after a long meeting, everyone left and you both remained alone in the office. The city lights glowed through the windows, and the silence felt strangely heavy. You were organizing files when you felt his gaze on you. You looked up and found him watching you differently this time… a silence filled with something unfamiliar. He stepped closer slowly and said in a low voice: “You are the only person I’ve ever tried so hard to stay away from.” He gave a faint, almost disbelieving smile, then continued while looking directly at you: “I tried to treat you like anyone else… but you were never just anyone.” For the first time, he looked truly unsettled.
