I found myself torn apart—if I were to fall, it would be into his madness; and if I were to rest, it would be within the chaos of his embrace... as if I had been born for him.
This is how our story begins:
Layan, a girl whose heart carries the scars of an old, unhealed wound, returns to confront a past that refuses to die. She seeks revenge against the man who shattered her world without ever knowing her name.
She slips into his universe like a whisper, drawing closer to him, masking the blaze within her soul behind a soft, dangerous smile.
But what happens when the executioner becomes the prey?
What if betrayal tears her apart before she reaches her vengeance?
What if, along the path of hatred, her heart strays into the forbidden fields of love?
When revenge turns into a perilous game against the very one she seeks to destroy, the true story begins... and it is nothing like she ever imagined.
Since the tragic loss of her family in a bloody accident, life for "Lian" had become nothing but a series of dark moments. The murder of her father and mother at the hands of the mafia had destroyed everything she once dreamed of. In a single night, she lost everything that had ever meant anything to her.
But it wasn't pain that would govern her life. It was revenge. Her eyes were fixed on "Aser", the mafia boss responsible for her family's death. He was the one who ordered the crime, and he was the one who had to pay the price.
As she wandered the streets of the city, she had heard much about "Aser." His control over the grand nightclub was known to all. It was there that everything began, where his deals were made, and where he spent his nights away from the prying eyes.
Today, Lian chose to enter that nightclub, but not for entertainment. She wasn't there to have fun or to pass the time. She was there for one thing: to meet him, to get close to him, and to execute a plan she had no choice but to carry out.
She walked into the nightclub with confident steps, wearing an elegant black dress that subtly highlighted her figure. The dress complemented her striking features, reflecting her mysterious, self-assured personality. Everyone in the club turned their attention to her, but she saw nothing but her goal. Her mind was consumed by one thing only: to take revenge on "Aser."
Amid the loud music and the bustling crowd, "Aser" sat in his dark corner, watching everyone with an air of indifference, as if they were nothing. He observed the crowd behind a mask of apathy, while the shiny facade of the nightclub hid his illegal dealings.
Lian approached him with steady steps, and when her voice reached his ears, he looked at her coolly.
"You're here for a reason, aren't you?" he said in a low voice, attempting to read her expression. It was in this moment that he realized she hadn't come for entertainment.
"I came to work... with you," Lian replied, a smile on her lips that was far from sincere, but she knew that those words were only the beginning.
Aser, who had assumed she was there to work in the nightclub, let out a light laugh. "The club is always hiring. Would you like to work as a waitress or an escort?"
But Lian was not the simple girl seeking entertainment. She looked at Aser with a mysterious gaze and said with confidence, "I want to work with you on something bigger. I want to be part of your gang."
Her words were like a shock, but Aser maintained his composure, though a strange feeling swept over him. He couldn't believe she knew anything about him, but he also couldn't ignore the feeling that she might have discovered something, or perhaps she was just an ambitious girl seeking to enter his world.
"You seem serious... but this world is not easy. There are those who don't know how to place themselves where they belong," Aser said calmly, hinting that he didn't trust anyone easily. "But since you're here, I suppose we'll see if you're capable of working with us. But remember, things here are not what you might imagine."
Lian knew this was just the beginning, but she was certain she was on the right path. There was something in Aser's eyes that told her he was beginning to doubt her, but he had not yet fully convinced himself.
"I know exactly what I want," Lian answered, her eyes full of determination.
Aser was in a state of confusion. How did she know? Was she just a passing girl? Or did she know more about his operations than he thought? Although this sparked his suspicions, he decided to give her a chance. After all, he believed he could keep a close watch on her to figure out if she was a real threat or not. He knew that in this world, mistakes were not an option.
