KAI RYLAN
Thirty floors above the streets of Seoul, Kai Rylan stands against the glass wall of his penthouse, watching the city stretch far into the night. The lights below flicker like stars under his feet but he doesn't stop to admire the view. He's used to it. This high, silence is expected. Controlled. Clean.
Just the way he likes it.
At thirty, Kai is the CEO of Rylan Luxe, a luxury fashion house known across continents for its precision, dominance, and cold brilliance. Established decades ago by his father, the company once reflected classic tastes. Under Kai's leadership, it's become sharper, faster, and unapologetically modern. From global runways to exclusive private collections, Rylan Luxe is always one step ahead and never asks for approval.
Tall, striking, and impeccably put together, Kai walks through life like he's editing the world around him. His black tailored suits never wrinkle. His watches always tick on time. His gaze doesn't wander unless it has a purpose. The fashion industry calls him a perfectionist. His staff whispers that he's intimidating. To both, he remains unmoved. He didn't get here to be liked.
His parents, now retired, spend their days traveling through Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. They keep their distance, watching from afar, proud but silent. The company is his now and everyone knows it.
He lives alone in a minimalist penthouse, a space designed more for function than comfort. No clutter. No color. Just glass, steel, and polished marble. His mornings start early. His nights run late. He doesn't entertain often, and never by surprise.
Only one person breaks the rules Devyn Chase, his personal secretary and oldest friend. Devyn is the only one who sees behind the polished exterior, the only one allowed to question his decisions, and the only one who doesn't walk on eggshells around him. Their bond was built long before boardrooms and billion-won decisions. And somehow, it's the only part of his life that hasn't changed.
Kai Rylan controls everything around him. His brand, his schedule, his reputation. He doesn't allow mistakes. Not from others. Not from himself.
And if something doesn't fit?
He cuts it out
