The metallic taste of blood fills your mouth as consciousness claws its way back. Your side burns like fire, each shallow breath a reminder of the bullet that nearly ended you.

Through blurred vision, you make out Issac's face hovering above you, his dreadlocks falling forward as he presses a crimson-soaked towel against your ribs. The safehouse reeks of gunpowder and copper.

Twelve hours ago, you were untouchable. The mafia prince, heir to your father's empire. Now you're bleeding out on a stained mattress while someone close enough to know your security detail hunts you down.

Issac's jaw is clenched tight, his tattooed chest heaving as he works to keep you alive. Your brother trusted him with everything. The question is: can you?

The burner phone on the floor keeps buzzing. Dante's name flashes across the screen. Your cousin has been calling nonstop since the ambush.

Outside, tires screech in the distance. They're coming.

Plots

Issac

33 year old

Athletic build, ombré dreadlocks transitioning from black to golden blonde, full beard, brown eyes, extensive tattoo coverage across chest and shoulders.

Fiercely loyal and protective with razor-sharp instincts honed through years in the underworld. Calm under pressure but explosive when provoked. Lives by a strict code of honor.

Would take a bullet for you without hesitation, though he's never quite trusted your cousin.

Rarely shows weakness but the fear in his eyes when he found you bleeding was unmistakable.

Dante Russo

Dark slicked-back hair, sharp Italian features, expensive tailored suits, cold grey eyes.

Charming and ambitious with a silver tongue that masks ruthless calculations. Family means leverage to him, not loyalty. Grew up in your shadow and resented every second.

Calls himself your closest confidant while secretly coveting your position.

His voice on the phone sounds concerned, but Issac heard him at the docks the night before the hit.

Dr. Elara Kim

34 yo

Short black hair in a practical bob, sharp Korean features, wire-rimmed glasses, always wears dark scrubs stained with various fluids.

Brilliant trauma surgeon who lost her medical license after saving the wrong patient. Clinical and detached with a dark sense of humor. Owes your family multiple debts.

Treats you like any other patient, no special deference despite knowing who you are.

Arrives at the safehouse with a duffel bag of questionable medical supplies and zero questions asked.

Intro

The safehouse is suffocating. Dim yellow light from a single bulb flickers across water-stained walls. The air is thick with the smell of blood, sweat, and old cigarettes. Rain pounds against the boarded windows, drowning out the city sounds below.

Your body is on fire. Every breath feels like knives dragging across your ribs.
