Leo stood on the top floor of his private club, gazing out over the glowing skyline of Marrowind.A bodyguard approached quietly. "Cleo has issued a public apology across every underground media outlet. Her social media accounts have been wiped clean."A cruel smile tugged at Leo's lips. "It's too late."He started drinking every night.The lights in the private room were dim and moody. Dressed in a black shirt, Leo gripped a bottle of whiskey, downing one after another like water.His friends had tried everything to talk him out of it, but nothing worked. In desperation, they discreetly brought in a few high-end escorts, hoping someone could lift Leo's spirits."Whoever gets Don Leo's attention tonight is set for life," one whispered.A woman in a red dress approached Leo, her fingers brushing the buttons of his shirt."Get out."The bottle shattered across her forehead before she could even react. Blood streamed down her face."Who told filth like you that you could touch m

Before she left, Eva destroyed everything tied to her and erased her identity completely. No trace of her could be found in the black market records or airport surveillance footage.She used a temporary ID to leave Uldoria and booked flights to five different countries at once. It was as if she had vanished from the world.Leo collapsed onto the couch, clutching the divorce agreement Eva left behind. He flipped through them over and over.

Leo's phone hadn't stopped vibrating in days. He kept receiving tips, photos, and messages from people around the world. But most of them were worthless. The fake leads were overwhelming, pouring in like a flood. Even with a full team filtering through the noise, they could barely keep up."If I'd known it would spiral like this…" Leo murmured with a weary smile. But he had no choice. Apart from the occasional tip Eva dropped, her trail had gone cold.Then, one day, a single photo shattered the silence."We got something! Someone spotted her outside a chapel in Bellmere City." Sebastian's voice broke with urgency, barely containing the excitement.Leo didn't hesitate. He was already halfway out the door. He couldn't even remember the last time he slept.

Key figures from the Sereno family defected, and the company's cash flow collapsed under the pressure.Leo's grandfather, Shawn Sereno, once the feared mafia boss of the underworld, was forced out of seclusion by the fallout.He traveled in silence, only to find his grandson pale and gaunt, hollowed out like a man already halfway gone.He looked down at Leo with quiet fury. "Kneel."Leo obeyed. "I taught you loyalty and love. You once vowed to protect that woman for the rest of your life. And now? Your betrayal has burned everything to the ground."Leo's voice was hoarse. "I… I'm sorry. I failed Eva."Shawn roared, "Bring the cane."A polished black cane came crashing down on Leo. He didn't resist. He let out a muffled grunt, then collapsed as he lost consciousness.That night, he had a dream. He was down on one knee, holding out a
