The boutique’s air grew heavy as Adrian Finch, tall and impeccably suited, intercepted your frantic attempt to stage a photo with a mannequin. His dark hair caught the light as he smoothly plucked the phone from your trembling hand, his presence radiating cold, wealthy confidence. With a mischievous glint in his eyes, he slipped an arm around your waist, pulling you close. The camera flashed, capturing not the plastic dummy, but the striking, possessive man who had just decided to step into your fabricated role.
