So let's start...
The rain had turned the city into a blur of neon lights and empty streets.
Rian Vale sighed as he locked the café's back door.
Rian Vale (MC)
Finally... My feet are officially dead.
He stretched, put on his earphones, and started walking toward the subway.
Milo 🐒( rain bff)
Did you steal any cake before leaving?
Rian Vale (MC)
Fine. One cheesecake.
Milo 🐒( rain bff)
I KNEW IT!!
A loud crash echoed from the alley beside him.
Curiosity got the better of him
He stepped into the narrow alley.
Rainwater trickled between the bricks.
A black luxury sedan stood with its headlights cutting through the darkness.
Three men in black suits surrounded another man kneeling on the ground.
His face was covered in blood.
Rian's heartbeat quickened.
Unknown Man
P-Please... I swear I never betrayed you...
A pair of polished black shoes stopped in front of him.
The man who owned them carried a black umbrella.
Not a single raindrop touched him.
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
Then why did you sell my name?
The kneeling man cried harder.
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
"I dislike lies."
One of the bodyguards raised his gun.
Rian's breath caught in his throat.
His hand flew to his mouth.
His shoe splashed into a puddle.
For one terrifying second...
Those icy gray eyes met his.
Cassian didn't look angry.
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
Bring him here.
Panic exploded through Rian.
His phone slipped from his pocket.
His backpack caught on a fence.
Footsteps echoed behind him.
Someone grabbed the back of his jacket.
Rian twisted free and sprinted into the rain.
He could hear men shouting behind him.
A black SUV roared onto the street.
Its headlights flooded the road.
Rian darted across traffic without looking.
Strong arms caught him before he hit the ground.
For one impossible second...
He thought he had escaped.
Cassian brushed a strand of wet hair away from Rian's forehead as if they had known each other for years.
His lips curved into the faintest smile.
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
"Little Bird... running only makes me want to keep you even more."

episode 2
Rain poured harder, drowning out the traffic.
Rian's chest rose and fell with frantic breaths.
He shoved Cassian with all his strength.
The taller man barely moved.
Rian Vale (MC)
Let go of me!
Cassian slowly released his wrist.
For one brief second, Rian thought he had a chance.
Three men in black suits stepped out of the shadows, silently blocking every exit.
Cassian spoke without looking at them.
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
Don't scare him.
The bodyguards immediately lowered their heads.
Rian stared in disbelief.
Rian Vale (MC)
"You're telling them not to scare me after I just watched you kill someone?!"
For the first time, Cassian looked directly into his eyes.
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
You weren't supposed to see that.
Rian Vale (MC)
So what now? You'll kill me too?
Cassian was silent for a long moment.
Close enough that Rian could smell the faint scent of cedarwood and rain.
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
Death is too permanent.
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
You'll stay where I can see you.
Rian Vale (MC)
...Are you insane?
One of the bodyguards accidentally let out a tiny laugh.
The man immediately straightened.
Cassian looked back at Rian.
The corner of his lips lifted almost imperceptibly.
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
Everyone asks me that eventually
Rian took another step back.
His hand slipped into his pocket.
He had dropped it while running.
Without a word, he held out Rian's phone.
The screen was cracked but still on.
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
Looking for this?
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
Unlock it.
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
Why?
Rian Vale (MC)
Because it's mine!
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
Fair enough.
Rian hesitated before snatching it.
Rian Vale (MC)
"...That's it?"
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
He won't answer.
Rian Vale (MC)
How do you know?
Cassian nodded toward one of his men.
The bodyguard spoke into an earpiece.
bodyguard
Sir, Mr. Quinn is still at the arcade with his friends.
They knew where Milo was.
Cassian wasn't threatening him.
He was showing him how much he already knew.
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
Your friend is safe.
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
As long as you don't make foolish choices.
But the meaning landed like ice in Rian's stomach.
Just then, another voice cut through the tension.
A tall man jogged over, slightly out of breath.
His usually perfect suit was soaked from the rain.
Elias
We found the traitor's laptop.
Then his eyes shifted back to Rian.
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
Take him home.
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
Mine.
Rian Vale (MC)
Absolutely not!
He turned and bolted again.
He made it exactly five steps.
A motorcycle roared around the corner.
The rider slammed on the brakes just inches from him.
Rian's face lit up with relief.
He rushed toward his best friend.
Before he could reach him—
A firm hand closed around the back of Rian's collar.
Cassian effortlessly pulled him back.
...to the elegant stranger holding him...
...to the line of men in black suits.
Milo 🐒( rain bff)
Did I interrupt a really weird date?
episode 3
Even the rain seemed to stop for a moment.
Milo looked between Rian, the men in black suits, and the impossibly handsome stranger holding onto Rian's collar.
Milo 🐒( rain bff)
So... are we doing kidnappings now, or is this some rich-people dating trend?
Milo 🐒( rain bff)
Let him go.
Cassian slowly turned his gaze to Milo.
His expression remained calm.
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
You're his friend.
Milo 🐒( rain bff)
Got a problem with that?
Elias quietly rubbed his forehead.
This guy has no survival instincts...
Cassian studied Milo for a few seconds before speaking.
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
But if you value your friendship...
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
Leave.
Milo 🐒( rain bff)
And if I don't?
The bodyguards instinctively took one step forward.
Rian's heart nearly stopped.
Rian Vale (MC)
Milo, don't!
Before the tension could snap—
Cassian raised one finger.
The bodyguards stopped immediately.
He walked toward Milo until they were only a few feet apart.
Instead of threatening him...
Cassian reached into his coat pocket.
He pulled out a business card and placed it in Milo's hand.
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
If Rian doesn't contact you within three days...
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
Call this number.
Milo 🐒( rain bff)
That's... surprisingly professional.
Even Elias looked mildly surprised.
Cassian ignored the comment.
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
Get in the car.
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
You're making this difficult.
A quiet, almost amused sigh.
Rian instinctively stepped back—
Until his back hit the cold brick wall.
There was nowhere left to go.
Cassian placed one hand beside Rian's head, trapping him without touching him.
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
You think I'm giving you a choice.
His heartbeat echoed in his ears.
Rian Vale (MC)
I don't belong to you.
Cassian's gaze softened... just enough to be unsettling.
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
Not yet.
Milo secretly dialed 911.
A hand gently lowered his phone.
A tall man with sharp features stood behind him.
Milo 🐒( rain bff)
Are you always this dramatic?
Milo reached up and flicked Elias on the forehead.
His bodyguards stared in horror.
Had ever flicked Elias Hart.
Milo 🐒( rain bff)
You looked too serious.
A tiny smile tugged at the corner of one bodyguard's mouth.
The smile disappeared instantly.
Elias looked back at Milo.
For the first time in years...
He had absolutely no idea how to respond.
Cassian opened the rear door of the black sedan.
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
Get in voluntarily.
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
I don't like forcing people.
Rian Vale (MC)
That's funny.
Rian Vale (MC)
Because this feels exactly like force.
For a brief moment, something unreadable flashed through Cassian's eyes.
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
If you walk away tonight...
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
You won't survive until morning.
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
The people whose secret you witnessed...
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
They're not afraid of me.
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
They're afraid of what I'll do to anyone who gets in my way.
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
And now...
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
They've seen your face.
Cassian wasn't only keeping him close because he wanted to.
Someone else was hunting him too.
With trembling hands, Rian looked at the open car door.
His old life might be over.
He might not have a life left at all.
Cassian extended his hand.
Cassian Ashford ( ML)
Choose.
Rian stared at that outstretched hand...
And, after what felt like an eternity—
He slowly reached toward it.
