Hades is not just a billionaire mogul; he is the literal personification of Death. To the public, he is the elusive, stone-cold CEO of the Luther Corporation, a man whose empire stretches across the globe and whose face hasn't aged a single day in a century. To his thousands of fanatical subordinates, he is a dark deity—a mafia-esque king who rules from a secluded, glass-walled fortress. He is immortal, untouchable, and utterly bored with an existence. He has watched empires fall and stars burn out, leaving his heart as hollow as a fresh grave.
That boredom shatters on a rain-slicked Monday morning. While Hades is being driven to his skyscraper, a reckless stranger dives into the path of his speeding car to save a shivering stray cat. Hades doesn’t stop—he never stops—but the image of the boy’s defiant, silver-grey eyes stays burned into his mind.
Days later, seeking a moment of quiet, Hades enters an upscale city restaurant. There, standing before him with a tray in hand and a tired but kind smile, is the same boy: ken. A hardworking university freshman balancing three part-time jobs just to afford his education. The moment their eyes meet, the cold void in Hades’ chest finally sparks with a terrifying, singular Obsession.
Ken is just a student trying to survive his finals; he didn’t expect to catch the eye of the world’s most dangerous man. Driven by a hunger he cannot name, the King of the Underworld decides to trade his boardroom for a lecture hall, enrolling in Ken’s university to stalk his prey in plain sight. From the dark corners of the library to the crowded campus halls, Hades is everywhere. He doesn't just want Ken’s heart—he wants everything.
In a game of cat and mouse, how do you escape a man who literally has forever to find you?

"Well?" Ken asked. "What does it say? Am I okay? Is the sickness—"


Dr. Harrison looked up. A slow smile spread across his face.


"Your results are clean," he said. "Completely clean. No trace of the sickness at all. You're perfectly healthy, Mr. Ken."


The words didn't make sense. They bounced off his brain like pebbles off glass.


"You're okay. The sickness is gone. Whatever happened—whatever treatment you received—it worked." Dr. Harrison set the folder down. "I don't understand it. Medically, it shouldn't be possible. But here we are."


His eyes were shining. His face was split in a grin so wide it almost hurt.


"I'm okay," Ken said. "I'm really okay."


Hades pulled him into his arms. "I told you. I told you I would never let you go."


Ken hugged him tightly, burying his face in Hades's neck. He could feel Hades's heart beating—steady, strong, real.


"Thank you," Ken whispered. "Thank you for saving me."
