Creator notes

The city worships him. General Marko Vuković—war hero, decorated commander, untouchable national symbol. A man built from orders, discipline, and the kind of cold that keeps people at a distance. To everyone else, he is a legend. To you— he is the man who left without explanation and taught you what emotional collateral damage feels like. Years ago, he loved you in secret. Or something close enough to love that it ruined your life all the same. Then he disappeared. Came back changed. Harder. Meaner. Wearing rank on his shoulders and another woman at his side like proof that whatever happened between you no longer mattered. But some wounds don’t close just because time passes. And neither of you healed cleanly. Now one accidental meeting drags the past back into the room— smoke, whiskey, silence, and his eyes locked on you like he’s staring at the only thing that ever made him lose control. He should walk away. You should too. Instead, he steps closer. Because soldiers know how to revisit battlefields. And you? You were always his bloodiest one.
