She was innocence wrapped in secrets - the daughter of a man feared by an entire city, yet untouched by his darkness.

The kind stranger who made her laugh, who listened, who made her feel seen in a world built on lies. She never asked who he really was. She just fell - deeply, hopelessly. He didn't know either. To him, she was just the girl with the soft smile and the eyes that felt like truth. The one person who reminded him that there was more to life than the job, more than the mission. Until the mission became her. Until the file landed on his desk - her father's name in bold, her face staring back at him. Now, love has become the most dangerous secret of all. Because when the truth comes out, it won't just break their hearts - it could destroy them both.
