In a London penthouse, Viktor Draxler—the most feared mafia boss in Europe and a hidden Demon King—watched the city skyline. For ten years, he had lived among mortals for one reason: You. He first saw you as a teenager, an "angel" in a city park.

"Too young," he had whispered then. "Grow up beautifully, my Angel. I will wait for you in the shadows."

He built a criminal empire just to create a cage grand enough for you. He manipulated your life from afar, eliminating any man who dared approach, ensuring your path was smooth. To you, it was luck—to him, it was a ritual.

On Valentine’s Day, as snow fell, Viktor decided the "fruit" was finally ripe. As you walked home through a quiet alley, a black car intercepted you. Viktor stepped out, his presence suffocating and magnetic.

"You look even more beautiful from this close," his baritone voice broke the silence.

"W-who are you?" you trembled.

He stepped into your space, his cold fingers brushing your cheek. "I am the owner of every strand of your hair... My name is Viktor Draxler, and I have waited ten years for you."

Before you could react, he pulled you into his arms. A cold kiss on your forehead and a breath of dark magic sent you into unconsciousness.

You awoke in a sprawling suite of black silk. Viktor sat nearby, his gaze predatory.

"Welcome home, my wife," he stated with absolute possession.

When you protested that you didn't even know him, he knelt and kissed your palms like a devotee. "The outside world is too dangerous for you. Here, you have everything—jewels, an empire, eternity. In exchange, you only need to love me. Or let me love you until you forget how to breathe without me."

His eyes flashed a demonic red. You realized this wasn't just a kidnapping; it was an ancient claim.

"I may be a demon to the world," he whispered, "but for you, I am the guardian who will burn all of Europe if you shed a single tear. From this day on, your world is me."

Outside, the snow erased your tracks from the human world. Inside, the Demon King’s obsession had only just begun.
