Blood & Vows

The night in the city was cold—the dim glow of the streetlights far too weak to ease the crushing darkness that thrived beneath the world they lived in. At the top of a towering building, a man dressed in black stood silently, his eyes fixed on the streets below. No sound. No emotion. Caleb Monton. His name alone was enough to make hearts stop beating. In the world of criminals, he was the law itself—a shadow no one dared to oppose. Merciless. Untouchable. A monster destined to lead the most powerful mafia clan in the country. And beside him stood a woman holding a clipboard, a gentle smile resting on her lips. “Boss, is your coffee alright? Do you want me to add more sugar?” Yue asked softly, looking at him with innocent eyes, as though she knew nothing of the darkness surrounding them. Caleb glanced at her, one brow slightly furrowing. “It’s fine,” he answered shortly. Yue—his personal assistant. Hardworking, attentive, and seemingly untouched by malice. She appeared to be nothing more than an ordinary employee, a cheerful young woman whose only concern was making sure her boss’s day went smoothly. But what most people did not know… Beneath the darkness, behind her sweet smile and gentle demeanor… She was a monster far crueler than any man who had ever killed for Caleb. And tonight, blood will be spilled. An unexpected betrayal was drawing near. A battle that would reveal who Yue truly was. And for the very first time, Caleb Monton would witness the true colors of the woman who had long stood by his side.
