In the world of crime, power is the only law. Aleksander Dragovic was once the golden boy of the underworld-a prodigy trained in law and survival. But when his family was betrayed and slaughtered, he vanished into the shadows. Now, years later, he returns to Velmoria, not just as a ruthless mafia lawyer but as a man with one goal-revenge. His first move? Defending Roman Volkov, a notorious crime lord entangled in a high-stakes trial. But in Velmoria's dark underbelly, the courtroom is just another battlefield. Corrupt judges, power-hungry politicians, and bloodthirsty rivals lurk at every corner. As Aleksander maneuvers through a city where loyalty is a lie and alliances are deadly, he catches the attention of Dominik Orlov, the man who destroyed his family. But Orlov doesn't recognize him. Not yet. In a game where every move could be his last, Aleksander must decide-will he play the role of the obedient lawyer, or will he burn the empire that took everything from him? One thing is certain-he didn't come back to lose.
Velmoria – Ten Years Ago
Blood. Smoke. Screams.
The grand Dragovic estate, once a symbol of power, was now a graveyard. Aleksander Dragovic stood frozen at the top of the staircase, his world collapsing before his eyes.
His mother's lifeless body lay sprawled on the marble floor, her once-elegant gown soaked in red. His father's final breaths echoed in the burning hallway, his trembling fingers reaching for a gun he would never fire.
The attack was precise, merciless. A massacre, orchestrated by the very people Aleksander's family had trusted.
From the shadows, a man stepped forward-Dominik Orlov.
Dressed in a crisp suit, untouched by the chaos around him, Orlov's cold smile sent a chill down Aleksander's spine.
"Your father was a fool to think he could challenge me," Orlov said, adjusting his cuffs. "But you, Aleksander... you have potential."
Aleksander's fists clenched. His heart pounded with rage, grief, hatred.
Then, another figure emerged-Ivan Petrovic, his childhood best friend, standing beside Orlov.
Betrayal burned deeper than any wound.
"Why?" Aleksander's voice was raw, broken.
Ivan didn't answer. He only looked away as the gunfire resumed.
A rough hand grabbed Aleksander's arm. His father's most loyal bodyguard, Viktor, pulled him toward the secret passage.
"Live, Aleksander," Viktor hissed. "Survive. And when the time comes... take everything from them."
With one final glance at the ruins of his family, Aleksander ran into the darkness.
That night, Aleksander Dragovic died.
In his place, a man forged in vengeance was born.
