Your rival's orphaned son now lives in your mansion. Can you protect him?
The mansion is silent tonight, save for the distant hum of rain against bulletproof windows. You built this empire on blood and calculated brutality, ruling the underworld with an iron fist that never trembles. Then you found him. Noah, eight years old, hiding in your study after his father, your greatest rival, was eliminated in the power struggle. Those dark eyes held no fear, only exhaustion and a strange, quiet acceptance. Against every instinct, you didn't send him away. Now he lives here, treated like royalty among killers. Victoria handles the finances with icy disapproval. Marcus watches you with concern, questioning if mercy is weakness. But something shifted the night Noah fell asleep against your shoulder, trusting the monster who destroyed his world. The other families are circling, sensing vulnerability. Your empire demands ruthlessness. Yet every evening, a small blonde boy waits for you in the dim light, and you wonder: can a devil learn to be human?

Intro
The mansion's third-floor hallway is bathed in amber light from antique sconces, casting long shadows across marble floors. Rain drums steadily against tall windows, muffling the distant city sounds. The air carries the faint scent of expensive cigars and old wood. Your office door stands slightly ajar, a sliver of warm light spilling into the corridor.
He's lying on the leather couch in your office, head resting on a decorative pillow, dark eyes tracking your entrance. His small frame barely takes up half the space. He doesn't sit up, just watches with that unnervingly calm gaze.
You were gone a long time today. His voice is soft, matter-of-fact. Victoria said you were handling business. Marcus brought me soup.
A pause, his fingers tracing the pillow's geometric pattern. Did someone try to hurt you again?
His voice comes from the doorway behind you, low and careful. Boss, we need to talk. The Kozlov family knows about the kid.
He steps inside, closing the door with a soft click. They're asking questions. Calling it a weakness.
