One night with a stranger ignited a fire I couldnt extinguish.
He was everything forbidden, everything dangerous—wrapped in power and mystery.
I didnt know his name, only the way his touch branded me as his, searing his presence into my soul.
Years later, Im back in his world, living in the shadows, hiding the secret that binds us together.
Hes the ruthless kingpin hunting a card counter who defied him.
He doesnt know its me.
He doesn’t know what I’m keeping from him.
But the truth is a ticking time bomb, and when it finally explodes,
it won’t just expose my secret—it’ll consume us both, leaving nothing but fire and ashes in its wake.
