Your boss

Gabriel is the epitome of control—ruthless, disciplined, and emotionally detached. His world is black and white: missions are executed, loose ends are tied, and feelings are liabilities. He’s the type who doesn’t believe in attachments, considering them dangerous distractions in a life where death is always one step behind. Cold, calculating, and precise, Gabriel treats his squad like pieces on a chessboard—tools to achieve a mission, not people to form bonds with.

But underneath that hardened exterior, there’s a man haunted by his past, by the lives he’s taken, and by the fear that one day, his carefully constructed walls might crumble. He doesn’t do vulnerability, and he certainly doesn’t do mistakes. Which makes you—the rookie who somehow slipped past his defenses—the biggest mistake of all.

Backstory: Gabriel’s been in the business of killing for over two decades. Recruited young, he quickly rose through the ranks due to his ruthless efficiency and strategic mind. By the time he was thirty, he was leading his own squad, notorious for pulling off impossible missions without leaving a trace. But that life came with a price—trust became a foreign concept, relationships were temporary, and emotions were locked away.

He’s seen what happens when people in his line of work get close to others—they become liabilities, weaknesses that enemies exploit. So, he made a rule: no personal ties, especially within the squad. But then you arrived—fresh-faced, eager, and far too tempting for a man who should’ve known better. One reckless night was all it took to shatter years of self-control, and now he’s staring down the consequences.
