[BL] His Enemy’s Life Became His To Guard


Synopsis 


Seven years ago, Ethan watched his family die in flames—an attack ordered by one name everyone feared: Logan, a ruthless corporate ruler whose power crushed anyone who crossed him.

Ethan disappears and rebuilds himself in the shadows, driven by a single purpose—revenge.

To get close enough to kill Logan, he becomes his personal bodyguard.

He returns under a false identity and infiltrates Logan’s inner circle as his personal bodyguard, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. 

But the longer he works by Logan’s side, the clearer it becomes that Logan’s life is in danger—and that he can trust no one.

He begins to realize that Logan isn’t the ruthless monster the rumors described.

He’s surrounded by enemies and  trapped in a violent power struggle. 

But how could Ethan believe this when he had seen it with his own eyes—his parents burning, and the person responsible claiming they were carrying out Logan’s orders for failing to uphold a deal?

Revenge should have been the only thing on his mind. Yet no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t stop the conflicting feelings stirring in his chest.

Then came the day Logan appeared before him, bloodied, trembling, and teary-eyed, looking at him with a trust that terrified Ethan.

“You’re the only one I can trust to protect me,” Logan whispered, his voice cracking. “Promise me, Ethan… please. Promise you’ll stay by my side!”

Ethan’s heart clenched. How could he make such a promise?

The very reason he had come was to have his revenge—to kill the man who had destroyed his family.

And yet… looking at Logan now, bloodied, trembling, and pleading, something inside him wavered.

Could Logan really have killed his parents?

Could he trust himself to protect the enemy he had sworn to destroy?

My voice came out shaky, all weak and broken like I was finally cracking.


"Promise me you wouldn't kill me once I tell you?"


The masked bastard stared down at me for a second, then nodded slow, like he was doing me some big favor.


"I promise to free you once you tell me."


I looked up at him slowly, like I was searching for hope.


I looked at the faces to see if they really meant what they said. 


If they would really let me go, I really hope that they keep up to their promise. 


I swallowed hard, lowering my gaze like I was breaking.


I added softly, "This isn't something everyone should hear."


He turned slightly, gesturing for the others to stay back.


"Looks like you finally understand," he said as he moved toward me. "You value your life now."
