Kian had faced a lot of threats in his career.
Corporate snakes, power-hungry executives, boardroom backstabbers.
But nothing compared to this.
Because this wasn't about business.
This wasn't about calculated moves and carefully planned strategies.
This was about his past.
A past he had buried.
A past that should have stayed buried.
And now?
It was standing right in front of him in the form of Nathan Hale.
And if Kian didn't play this carefully—everything he had built could come crumbling down.

The meeting was set for mid-afternoon, in an abandoned warehouse near the docks—neutral ground, a place where no one could eavesdrop.
Kian had insisted on the location.
If Nathan was going to pull him into a mess, then Kian was going to make sure he was in control of it.
Adrian, however, had other opinions.
