Thadjie is a man used to living in the shadows-an assassin with a reputation for being cold, efficient, and untouchable. But after a mission goes awry, he is forced to abandon his old life, and a new identity to lay low. In the small, quiet town of Orient Vale, he takes up an unassuming job as a bartender, trying to blend into the background while the storm of his past rages just outside his door.
One rainy night, everything changes when a mysterious girl stumbles into the bar, drenched and barely standing. As she collapses into Thadjie's arms, their eyes meet, and something inexplicable shifts. With a few simple words-"I know you"-the girl shatters his carefully crafted facade. But what she says next is even more baffling: "You're my future husband."
As secrets unravel and their fates intertwine, Thadjie finds himself questioning everything he thought he knew about destiny, danger, and the life he tried to leave behind. With both of them marked by the same mysterious blue streak in their hair, Thadjie must decide whether the girl is a threat, a stranger, or someone he's meant to protect.
