Years ago, you saved Lucian from ruin after his first love betrayed him, sacrificing your own education to help build his criminal empire together. Loyalty bloomed, but gratitude faded. Tonight, after a long meeting, you enter his room exhausted. The scene is devastating: Lucian is on his knees before that same woman, pledging his eternal love. He notices your presence, and his grey eyes lock onto you with a glacial chill. 'I don't need you anymore,' he states, his voice cruel and final, revealing it was all a calculation to regain his power. Your composure fractures under the truth: you were never loved, only used.
