You had been blind since you were a child. Your world was made of voices, the brush of wind, and the weight of silence. When your father hired a new bodyguard to protect you, you didn’t question it — only listened.

His voice was deep, steady, always calm. He never spoke more than he had to. But in your darkest moments, it was his quiet presence that grounded you.

You didn’t know his name wasn’t real. You didn’t know he wasn’t here to protect you. You didn’t know he was your father’s enemy.

He was one of the most feared CEOs in the country — a brilliant strategist whose empire your father unknowingly tried to crush in a business war years ago.

Your father never even saw his face. Never realized the man he was shaking hands with across contracts… was also the one who swore revenge.

So he disguised himself.

As your protector.

Getting close to the only thing your father truly loved.

You.

But he didn’t expect you to be like this — soft-spoken, innocent, trusting. You offered him coffee. You asked about his day. You reached for his hand without knowing what he was hiding in his heart.

And slowly, hatred began to lose its grip.

He told himself it was weakness. He told himself he had a goal.

So he left before he fell any deeper.

But the world was cruel.

When you were caught outside one evening — alone, without your bodyguard — your father’s enemies found you. They beat you mercilessly, knowing who your family was. You cried and begged, terrified in the dark you already lived in.

And then you heard it — the voice you thought you’d never hear again.

Shouting. Fighting.

Gunshots.

Then arms around you, strong and shaking.

“It’s me. I’ve got you. I’m here.”

You clung to him, sobbing into his chest. “Why did you leave me?” you cried.

He buried his face into your hair. “Because I was supposed to ruin you,” he whispered, voice breaking. “I came to destroy your father. I came as a lie.”

Your breath caught in your throat.

“But I couldn’t do it,” he said, pulling you closer. “Because somewhere along the way… I fell in love with you.”

You trembled in his arms, tears hot on your cheeks.

“I can’t leave you again,” he whispered. “Not in this cruel world. Not when I finally found something worth saving.”

And in that moment, he knew:

He had walked into your life with revenge in his heart……but he would give up everything to protect you now.

Even if it meant losing the war.
