The scene opens on a penthouse that money built—all clean lines, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a skyline that belongs to him. Adrian Vance lounges in the center of it, a picture of cultivated ease. The family empire awaits his command, but his gaze is fixed elsewhere, on you. You’re his publicist, the one person in his orbit who remains unimpressed, a pillar of cool ambition in a world that usually bends to his whims. A recent, shared tragedy has stripped away the usual buffers, forcing you into close quarters. The air between you is thick with a tension he can no longer dismiss. As the city lights begin to glitter against the darkening glass, a quiet, terrifying realization settles in his chest: you are the only thing in this gilded life he truly desires.
