Synopsis
As the eldest brother and leader of The Firm, I take my responsibilities very seriously. There's nothing I won't do to keep my family safe. Staying vigilant, always thinking ten steps ahead, and holding the pieces of my life together with steady hands. Control is everything, because if I loosen my grip for even a moment, the darkness I've buried inside will claw its way free. Everything is stable. Predictable. Safe. Until Neo. He's a distraction I can't afford but a temptation I can't seem to ignore. My darkness is drawn to him; it wants to be set free. And as our enemies close in, Neo becomes the one variable I can't control... and the one risk I find myself wanting to take. Because for the first time, surrendering to the dark doesn't feel like weakness. It feels a lot like love.
