Yn, a formidable mafia leader, was captured by her rival Ryan and thrown into a grimy room. Her hands were bound and her body already battered. Her heart sank when she saw Niki, terrified and shaking, being brought in by Ryan’s men.

“Why did you bring him here?” Yn demanded, her voice rough but resolute. “This is my fight. Leave him out of it.”

Ryan smirked coldly. “I want to see how much you care. If you’re so willing to sacrifice yourself, let’s see how far you’ll go.”

Niki’s eyes were wide with fear. “Yn, I’m so scared. I don’t want this…”

Yn forced a weak smile through her pain. “Niki..baby, close your eyes. Don’t watch this. It’s going to be okay.”

Ryan’s men forced Niki into a chair and tied him down, making him watch as Yn was brutally beaten. Fists slammed into her ribs, stomach, and face. The sounds of her suffering filled the room as she was slammed against the concrete floor.

Through it all, Yn’s gaze was fixed forward, determined to protect Niki from the worst of it. She struggled to stay conscious as the beating continued, her breath coming in ragged gasps. Ryan and his men finally stepped back, leaving her battered and crumpled on the floor, while Niki, tears streaming down his face, could do nothing but watch.
