Ethan leaned back against the chair, his fingers tapping lightly against the wooden table as his eyes wandered around the lively bar. Loud music echoed through the room while laughter and conversations blended into one another. Couples danced under the colorful lights, completely immersed in their own little world.

Yet Ethan felt strangely out of place.

He let out a quiet sigh. "One day..." he muttered under his breath. "I'm going to leave all of this behind." He narrowed his gaze. "The Sincl

    Jeremy sat opposite Evelyn inside the study.For several minutes, neither of them spoke.The silence between them felt strangely heavy.Evelyn studied her son carefully.Jeremy, however, looked completely relaxed.He leaned back against the chair with one leg crossed over the other, his expression calm and almost carefree.Finally, Evelyn cleared her throat."Why are you back?"Jeremy looked at her. "Cause I missed home."Evelyn frowned.n"Home?""Yes."He smiled faintly."I suddenly realized that I've been away for too long."Evelyn continued staring at him. There was something about his return that didn't sit right with her. She couldn't explain it.A mother's instincts were sometimes difficult to ignore."Jeremy.""Hmm?""Why do I feel like you're hiding something from me?"Jeremy chuckled. "Mother, you're imagining things.""I'm not," Evelyn said. Jeremy's smile slowly disappeared. Evelyn leaned forward. "I know you and I know when you are lying."Jeremy remained silent. He looked

    Adrian stared at Ethan for a while before answering him."I cannot tell you."Ethan's expression changed.For some reason, hearing those words hurt more than he expected."You cannot tell me?" he repeated quietly.Adrian remained silent.Ethan looked away, trying to control his breathing.He had so many questions.Who was Adrian? Why did he know how to fight like that? Why did he carry a gun? And most importantly, why had Adrian killed that man without even hesitating?Ethan slowly stood up. "Fine, I want to go home."Adrian immediately nodded."I'll take you.""No."Adrian frowned."Ethan.""I said no."Ethan stood up and walked towards the road.Adrian followed him."You're still shaken. You should not be left alone.""Don't worry, I'll call Harris.""I can take you home.""I don't want you to."Adrian stopped walking. Those words hit him harder than he expected.Ethan pulled out his phone and called Harris.The call connected after a few rings."Harris?""Young master?""Come and p

    Adrian stood up."Go ahead and eat, I'll be right back," he said to Ethan.Ethan frowned. "But we just got here. Where are you going?"Adrian didn't want to disclose anything to Ethan so he just brushed it off with an excuse."I need to use the bathroom.""Oh... Okay then. Be fast about it.""Uhm."Ethan watched Adrian head towards the back side of the bar. Just then, the waiter arrived with their order so he stopped looking and focused on the meal.Meanwhile...The moment Adrian got up, the stalker stood up and left immediately. Adrian saw him leave and called Mark on the phone."Boss.""Where are you?""Outside, behind the bar.""Good. The target is coming outside, don't let him escape.""Understood."Adrian put down the phone and went outside. The moment he stepped out through the back door of the bar, his eyes immediately swept across the narrow alley.It was empty.For a second, he stood completely still.Then he noticed a figure moving quickly toward the end of the alley.Adria

    Two days later, Ethan was in his room as usual when his phone suddenly rang.He picked it and looked at the caller id, it was an unknown number.At first he didn't want to pick it, but after two rings, he answered."Hello?"The caller paused for a brief moment before speaking."It's me, Adrian."The moment Ethan heard the voice, he sat up."Adrian?""Yes. It's me," Adrian replied.Ethan was both excited and angry at the same time. It's been two days since he last saw Adrian, to others it may seem nothing but to him it was tiring. A moment without seeing or talking to Adrian felt like an eternity, a torturous one."Where are you?" Adrian asked him."At home," Ethan replied."I am outside your gate," Adrian said.Ethan was surprised. He got up instantly and went to his window, he pushed the curtain aside and looked down. Adrian was standing beside his car with the phone in his ear, he was also staring at Ethan's room window.Seeing him standing there, Ethan frowned a bit."But why are y

    That same night, Ethan was lying on his bed but he couldn't fall asleep.He kept could help but think about Adrian.The way Adrian had brushed him off earlier hurt him but that wasn't what bothered him much.He was worried that Adrian was acting strangely."Why are you behaving strangely, Adrian?" He mumbled.The man was always calm. No matter what happened around him, Adrian rarely showed panic. Even when Ethan deliberately annoyed him during lessons, Adrian remained composed.But lately, something had changed.Something felt wrong, no matter how hard they tried to deny it, the truth remained unchanged.Ethan glanced at his phone."Should I call him?" He asked himself. Then frowned afterwards. "If I call him, he won't tell me anything. He may not even pick the call."A thought suddenly crossed his mind then he picked his phone and dialed a number."Hello?" Chris' voice came from the other end."Are you busy?" Ethan asked him."I was... But not anymore. Is something wrong?" Chris aske

    "Do you think they are targeting Ethan?" Dan asked.I don't know."Adrian paused."But I want you to find out.""Understood."The call ended.Adrian dropped the phone onto the passenger seat.He continued driving, but his thoughts had already returned to Ethan.Why was he this worried about him? He had protected people before, saved lives before. But this felt different.With Ethan, it wasn't simply about protecting a client or some innocent person who had been caught in the wrong situation.He actually cared.The realization made his grip tighten around the steering wheel."No." He shook his head. "I'm not falling for him." Even to his own ears, the words sounded unconvincing.He frowned. "I can't."He had already lost too much, his career, his peaceful life, his identity..Perhaps even his chance at ever living normally again.He couldn't afford to lose himself too. And yet, despite everything he told himself, one truth remained. Ethan had become important to him. Far more important
