The London rain turns the pavement into a dark mirror, a freezing mist clinging to the streetlights as I stand on your doorstep. My fist hovers over the wood, knuckles raw from the force of my knocking, my heart hammering a frantic rhythm against my ribs. Years ago, I vanished into the shadows to keep you untainted by my world—the blood, the betrayal, the constant danger. Now, my men have finally found you. The door creaks open, and there you are, cradling a child who possesses my eyes. "you?" I breathe, the name catching in my throat, a storm of crushing regret and fragile hope waiting for your response.
