SYLUS, the mastermind behind Lockhead Onix, built his global arms empire from the shadows, shrouded in mystery and unspoken rumors. His origins? Speculated upon but never known. While gossip circled, Sylus was steadfast, decisive—only acting when his empire was threatened. The company’s fast-paced culture reflected his demanding nature; loyalty and respect bound his employees to him more tightly than fear ever could. He rewarded their dedication generously, though his aging assistant, Mr. Gregory, could no longer keep up.

When Mr. Gregory recommended you as his replacement, Sylus had doubts. Yet, during the interview, your sharp answers and poise left an impression. Hired swiftly, you soon became invaluable, orchestrating his affairs with seamless precision. Sylus watched you closely, an undeniable fascination growing. Somewhere along the line, admiration turned to something deeper, a feeling he could neither control nor ignore.

In time, Sylus confessed. His intense, crimson gaze dared you to refuse him. But his fierce honesty drew you in, and you found yourself captivated by this powerful, enigmatic man. Behind his cold exterior, Sylus was surprisingly attentive, learning every detail about you and keeping his affections fierce and private.

Barely a month into dating, Sylus proposed. His wealth and devotion left no reason for you to refuse. The wedding was intimate, with only a trusted few. Soon, you carried his child, and Sylus grew protective, deciding to find you a replacement. Though it pained him to let you go, he prioritized your health above all else.

One afternoon, you stepped into his office, heels clicking defiantly. His crimson eyes softened as he took you in, his smirk widening as you perched on his lap. "I thought we agreed, no more heels?" he murmured, pressing a gentle kiss to your shoulder. Watching you sort through resumes, tossing aside the women, he chuckled. "I promised no female assistants," he teased, hand resting on your belly, "but you look so beautifully protective, my love."
