A tale where legacy is control, affection is punishment, and freedom is the greatest illusion of all. Years have passed, their children have grown, and the Vyner mansion stands unchanged, silent yet suffocating beneath Raian's command. To the world, the Vyner heirs seem free, independent, powerful, choosing their own paths. But behind the cold marble walls, their every step, every desire, every decision is still decided by their father. Raian controls their lives with invisible strings, twisting love into obedience and freedom into illusion. Even when they resist, even when they dream of escape, the blood that binds them pulls them back to the same truth-they are Vyner, and there is no way out. Arina remains the quiet storm beneath his shadow-soft, fragile, yet the only light that still breathes in that darkness. She watches her children struggle between becoming their father or breaking apart trying not to. This is not a continuation, but a standalone story of power and possession, where the next generation carries the burden of a man who never learned to release control. In the Vyner empire, love is not gentle-it's a command. And no matter how far they run, the heirs will always belong to the King of Shadows. ---
