Heeseung's decision to change did not come without consequences. Betrayal from within his ranks led to violent confrontations and dangerous situations. Former allies turned enemies sought to take advantage of what they perceived as Heeseung's weakness. However, Heeseung's resolve remained unshaken, bolstered by Jay's unwavering support.

The tension reached its peak when Heeseung's former right-hand man, Matteo, orchestrated a coup against him. Matteo, who had always coveted Heeseung's position, saw the change in Heeseung as an opportunity to seize control. He rallied the disaffected members of Heeseung's organization, promising them a return to their old ways of power and wealth.

One night, while Heeseung was away handling business, Matteo and his men stormed the church. They captured Jay, who was alone at the time, tending to a group of homeless people. Matteo knew that Jay was the key to breaking Heeseung's spirit. He had seen the bond between them and understood that Jay was Heeseung's Achilles' heel.

Jay was taken to an undisclosed location, a dilapidated warehouse on the outskirts of Verona. Bound and gagged, he was held captive by Matteo and his men. They intended to use Jay as leverage, to force Heeseung into submission.

When Heeseung returned to the house and discovered Jay missing, his heart sank. Panic set in as he realized what had happened. Heeseung's first instinct was to lash out, to unleash his fury on those responsible. But he knew that acting rashly could endanger Jay's life.

Determined to rescue Jay, Heeseung set out to find him. He called in favors from his remaining loyal allies, gathering intelligence on Matteo's whereabouts. The search was frantic and desperate, every second feeling like an eternity.
