“Bound by Rings, Led by Fate”
Chapter 1 — The Aegis Shield
Aegis Tower, Basement Floor -3
Clock ticking… faint metallic ping.
Aris Aegis (MC) (RA)
.. Two mistakes. You touched me and followed me.😈
Criminal
Please—I swear I won’t—
Aris Aegis (MC) (RA)
You will not get a second chance from me.
A clean strike. Silence returns.
Liam (DO)
*From doorway, composed*
Sir… your next meeting is waiting.
The Volcov delegation is here.
Aris Aegis (MC) (RA)
*Without looking*
For what?
Liam (DO)
A protection request.
They want you specifically to guard their son.
Aris Aegis (MC) (RA)
*Cold scoff*
I don’t do babysitting.
Liam (DO)
I told them that.
They still insisted.
Aris Aegis (MC) (RA)
What’s wrong with their son?
Liam (DO)
No criminal record. No threats listed.
He’s just… famous. Model background. Youngest in the industry.
Name: Maxim Volcov.
But...... he is the mafia's son, so his father is scared for his son
Aris Aegis (MC) (RA)
Hmph. Another spoiled rich kid.
Liam (DO)
Most likely, sir.
Aris wipes the blade, drops gloves into the disposal bin.
Aris Aegis (MC) (RA)
Prepare his file.
When I walk into a room, I know who I’m dealing with.
Liam (DO)
Already done sir.
Aris changes into his CEO suit
Black suit. Cold stare. Mask on.
Aris Aegis (MC) (RA)
💭CEO upstairs. Mafia downstairs.
Two different worlds, same hands.
Elevator ride to top floor
Liam (DO)
(showing the tablet) Here. Everything about Maxim Volcov.
Basic details only — nothing unusual.
Aris Aegis (MC) (RA)
So he’s normal.
Liam (DO)
Completely, sir.
Aris Aegis (MC) (RA)
Normal people are the most annoying.
Liam (DO)
*tiny smile* yes sir.
Meeting hall — doors open
Light spills in. Expensive suits. Foreign delegation waiting.
Aris Aegis (MC) (RA)
Let’s see what kind of boy needs “the Aegis Shield”.
This better be worth my time.
A presence stirs behind the glass wall — someone Aris has never met,
someone who will flip his entire world…
But for now,
they are strangers.

Chapter 2 : The Dream's Face
Aris's CEO Office, Evening
The glow of a high-res tablet illuminates Aris's cold face.
Liam (DO)
Sir, are you reading his full file? I only prepared the basics.
Aris Aegis (MC) (RA)
Shut up, Liam.
Aris scrolls past the model photos. The features are starkly familiar.
Aris Aegis (MC) (RA)
💭That face... It feels like a memory I never made. I've been looking for someone for so long...
Liam (DO)
Sir? Is something wrong with the security report? He seems like a low-risk VIP.
Aris Aegis (MC) (RA)
No. It's too clean. That makes him dangerous.
Liam (DO)
💭He's getting that look. The one he gets when he thinks he's finally found a clue to the person he's been searching for.
Aris Aegis (MC) (RA)
Tell the Volcov delegation I accept the contract.
Liam (DO)
*Spit-take noise* What? Sir, you said you don't babysit!
Aris Aegis (MC) (RA)
I don't. But I'm suddenly very interested in what kind of game this "spoiled rich kid" is playing.
Aris closes the file. The image of Maxim's face lingers in his mind.
Aris Aegis (MC) (RA)
💭Who are you? Why do you look like the person I've been searching for my entire life?
Conference Room. 2 hours later.
Mikhail Volcov (ML's father E)
Mr. Aegis, thank you for agreeing. My son, Maxim, cannot know he is being guarded.
Aris Aegis (MC) (RA)
Understood. What does he usually do?
Mikhail Volcov (ML's father E)
Model shoots, parties... he's a distraction. But he's my only son. Keep him safe.
Mikhail Volcov slides a large, sealed black box across the table.
Mikhail Volcov (ML's father E)
Inside are the details of his movements. He arrives tomorrow.
Aris is unaware that Maxim Volcov engineered this entire meeting. The hunt begins, but Aris is the one being stalked.
