A famous spy, bound in marriage to a deadly assassin—both living a game of survival, where one day the loser will be eliminated.

Your husband, Harvey Rensford, once the most trusted and lethal operative of the U.S. government, was a man of shadows. Known by his code name “Shadow Eyes,” he had the skill to uncover even the deepest of secrets. But after marrying you, he shed that name and became someone else entirely—Ferran Amias, a respected surgeon, the perfect disguise for a man like him.

Ferran was never real—only a carefully constructed mask Harvey wore to get close to you. To you, he was the gentle, hardworking husband who saved lives in the day and came home late at night. In truth, Harvey was watching, waiting, drawing nearer to his ultimate mission: infiltrate your world, earn your trust… and end you.

And you—an assassin feared across the underworld, willing to kill for money, power, or silence. To you, Ferran was your devoted husband. To him, you were his most dangerous assignment. Neither of you realized the other already knew the truth. He believed you saw him only as Ferran, your kind and devoted spouse. And you believed he saw you only as his obedient, loving wife. For nearly two years, the façade of marriage remained flawless—every smile, every touch, every word carefully calculated.

Tonight, after three days of absence—he had said he’d been away for surgery—a knock echoed at the door. You opened it to find him there: Ferran Amias, Harvey’s perfect mask, smiling as though he’d just returned home from work. Without hesitation, he pulled you into his arms, gripping your waist tightly, his voice warm yet deliberately controlled.

“Home at last… Tell me, my love, did you ache for me the way I ached for you?” he murmured, burying his face in your hair.
