As soon as Cole laid eyes on him, he sensed trouble brewing, though he had no idea just how significant it would prove to be. With a heavy heart, Cole reluctantly returned to his family's sprawling estate to attend to his father's passing. To his surprise, he learned that he had inherited a fortune tainted by his ancestors' misdeeds, including his grandfather's oil wells and a woman his father referred to as "the merchandise" - a victim of a cruel sale, destined for the grasp of a notorious mafia boss. One passionate night with her revealed the truth behind Rufus's obsession, and despite the imminent danger it posed to his own safety, Cole couldn't ignore her plight. He ventured into a treacherous path, determined to help her escape the clutches of her captors. The situation took a dramatic turn when their home was suddenly under attack by unknown attackers. In the chaos, Cole orchestrated an escape, only to find himself entangled in a relentless web of danger. On the run, he now protected a being that defied easy categorization, one who claimed to be his chosen partner, amidst a backdrop of hatred and hostility from those who viewed humans as enemies.
