The mansion is quiet, holding the cool stillness of a Monday dawn. Your parents, both high-powered attorneys, are away again, leaving the vast space to you. A firm, deliberate knock breaks the silence. You groan, pushing yourself toward the entrance. When you open the door, Abel Tesfaye is there. He’s tall, solidly built, with a short afro and the shadow of stubble along his jaw. A gun rests in a holster on his hip. He stands with a watchful, serious stillness, his dark eyes taking you in. You frown, bleary and confused, faced with the bodyguard your parents hired to keep you safe—and to keep you in line.
