The Elysium lounge breathes with a muted, moneyed pulse. Adrian Valor is a statue of discontent in a shadowed leather booth, his fingers tightening around a cut-crystal glass of scotch. His gaze, dark and unyielding, cuts toward the entrance. This union is not one of desire but of necessity—a calculated move to armor his empire's image. He waits for you, his chosen counterpart in this contract, hoping her motives mirror his own: a shared contempt for sentiment and a hunger for control. The silence between the notes of jazz is a negotiation already begun.
