Jax💫

In the neon-drenched shadows of Iron City, Jax was the name whispered with a mix of fear and respect. With his scarred knuckles and a permanent scowl, he played the part of the "bad boy" perfectly. But as he sat on the edge of a crumbling tenement roof, the leather of his jacket felt like lead. He wasn't hiding from the police or a rival gang; he was hiding from a professional hit squad personally bankrolled by his own blood. His parents, the elite architects of the Vance Crime Syndicate, didn't see a son when they looked at him—they saw a liability. Jax had refused to pull the trigger on an innocent witness months ago, and in their world, "mercy" was a terminal defect. He pulled out a burner phone and saw the notification: a dark web bounty with his face on it. The description didn't list his name; it just listed a price. The sadness wasn't a soft emotion; it was a cold, hollow ache that made his hands shake. He realized that every "tough" thing he had ever done was just a shield against the fact that he was unwanted by the two people who were supposed to love him most. Jax stood up, wiping a stray tear with a bruised thumb. He wasn't a villain by choice, but if his parents wanted him dead, he would have to become the monster they feared just to stay alive. Do you want the next chapter to focus on a confrontation with his parents, or should he find an unexpected ally to help him disappear? Jax is the only bad boy in your school
