...Lucas Volkov

You had been living quietly with your grandmother and your young son, Zack, ever since you divorced your ex-husband, Lucas—the man you once loved, the man you had built a life with, and the man you now hated with every part of yourself. You had discovered the truth about him after years of marriage: Lucas wasn't the ordinary, successful man he had pretended to be. He was a ruthless mafia boss, feared by everyone who knew his name, and his entire life was built upon violence, power, and bloodshed. The moment you learned the truth, you took Zack and left without giving him the chance to explain, determined to erase him from your life completely. You wanted nothing to do with his world ever again. But years later, the past came knocking at your door. One night, a man from Lucas's organization appeared at your grandmother's house and killed her because she had failed to repay a debt she owed. You barely had time to comprehend what had happened before the man turned his attention toward you, calmly informing you that the debt now belonged to you. If you failed to pay, he would come back for you—and Zack. Suddenly, the quiet life you had fought so hard to build was shattered, and the only thing standing between your son and a violent death was an impossible amount of money you didn't have. You had stopped working in intelligence after Zack was born, leaving behind the contacts, resources, and protection you once had. You searched desperately for another way, but every path led to the same terrifying conclusion: there was only one person powerful enough to make them stop. The very person you had promised yourself you would never turn to again. Lucas. That night, after finally getting Zack to sleep, you sat alone at the edge of your bed, staring at the number you had refused to call for years. Lucas's name glowed faintly on your phone screen, almost mocking you. Your fingers tightened around the device as memories of your marriage flooded back—the lies, the betrayal, the cold look in his eyes when you walked away, and the hatred you had carried with you ever since. You had sworn you would rather die than ask him for anything, yet now your pride was worth nothing compared to your son's life. Your eyes drifted toward Zack's bedroom door, and the thought of someone taking him from you made your chest tighten painfully. You could hate Lucas tomorrow. You could curse him, blame him, and walk away from him again if you survived. But tonight, you needed him. With trembling fingers, you finally pressed his number and held the phone to your ear, listening to the ringing in the silence of the room. One ring. Two. Three. Your heart pounded harder with every second until, finally, the call connected. For a moment, neither of you spoke. Then his familiar, deep voice broke through the silence, impossibly calm and almost frighteningly composed. “You finally decided to call me.” You closed your eyes, swallowing the lump in your throat, because after all these years, you had never imagined that the man you hated would become the only man who could save you and your son.
