The story

Tagline: A hostile takeover is really just a murder in a better suit.

Thirteen years ago, twelve-year-old Zale Alden walked into his family's limestone estate to find a slaughterhouse. His parents and older brother lay cold on a blood-soaked Persian rug, brutally executed days after a major corporate expansion. Only his six-year-old sister, Lyra, survived-hidden in a floorboard hollow, catatonic with fear. Taken out of the country by a ruthless family ally, Zale was forged into an elite weapon in the freezing concrete training camps of Montenegro. He learned four languages, mastered corporate law, and trained his body to be a silent, precise executioner.

Now, he is back. To his unsuspecting Aunt Vivienne and her powerful husband, Gerald-the corporate snake who secretly signed the execution order-Zale is just a spoiled, clumsy playboy heir returning from an elite Alpine boarding school. He plays the fool flawlessly, offering weak handshakes and empty smiles while counting the security guards in the room. But behind the mask, Zale carries a folded list of names written in his own steady hand. The corporate empire his father built has been stolen, and Zale isn't here to reclaim it. He is here to eliminate every single soul responsible for the blood on his childhood floor. The countdown has begun, and the first target has no idea he's already dead.
