They said scars fade.But the one that walked into his office didn’t.She had trauma in her eyes, silence in her voice, and a past she never chose.He was power in human form—cold, calculating, and used to control.She once saved his father’s life.So he gave her a job.Then gave her protection.And somewhere between her flinches and his quiet rage—he gave her everything.He doesn’t believe in love.She doesn’t believe in safety.But he’d kill for her.And she might be the only scar he never wants to heal.
