They call him The Silent-a man so precise, so untouchable, that entire syndicates fall, organisations exposed, dictators dead without ever knowing he was there. He doesn't question orders. He doesn't hesitate. And he never, ever gets attached.
Until Sora Miniro.
She shouldn't stand out.
Living alone in a pastel, almost toy-like house, Sora looks like she belongs in a softer world-cotton-candy pink hair, pale blue eyes, a voice too gentle for the chaos outside her door. People see her and think fragile. Harmless.
They're wrong.
When Silent's team-Mark, Lina, Ray, and Zane-is sent to bring her in as a high-priority "asset," they expect compliance.
Instead, they find Casper.
The fluffy, too-cute dog with a grin full of far too many teeth... and instincts that scream predator. And behind him, Sora-calm, curious... almost indifferent to the danger standing in her living room.
She doesn't run.
She doesn't fight.
She just watches.
And somehow-that's worse.
From the moment she's brought in, something shifts. Silent, observing from the shadows he's always controlled, finds his focus slipping. She's not what the files said. Not weak. Not afraid. Not normal.
And the longer she stays, the more dangerous he becomes-not to her, but to anyone who might try to touch her.
Including his own team.
Because Mark's Sora's best friend!-
Or at least... he thinks he does.
What starts as recognition turns into fixation. Then obsession. The kind that twists loyalty, the type that even a man would hurt the one he's obsessed with.
Silent was trained to eliminate threats.
Now one is growing inside his own ranks.
And for the first time, the most dangerous man in the world isn't hunting a target-
He's protecting one.
