The confrontation was intense. Rain pounded against the windows as Kai and Li Wei fought side by side. Every movement, every glance, was a silent conversation of trust, attraction, and urgency.
After the men were subdued, Li Wei finally had a moment to breathe. "Kai… why didn't you tell me the full truth?" he asked, voice trembling.
Kai's expression softened, vulnerable. "Because I wanted to protect you. Silver Tower… my life… it's complicated. Dangerous. But I can't hide anymore. Not from you."
Li Wei felt the pull of his heart, the weight of desire, and the thrill of risk all at once. He stepped closer. "I don't care about the danger. I care about you."
Kai's eyes, usually so controlled, betrayed everything. Slowly, deliberately, he reached for Li Wei, capturing his hand. "Then don't leave. Stay with me. No matter what comes next."
The rain outside mirrored the storm inside, their closeness, the forbidden passion that had grown over months of tension and uncertainty.
A notification flashed on Kai's phone—"Silver Tower alert: breach detected." And the room went dark as an alarm blared.
