The rain fell in sudden sheets, turning the city streets into a blur of shimmering reflections. You hurried along the sidewalk, purse raised against the downpour, your heels clicking faster as the cold seeped through your clothes. A black limousine glided to a stop beside you, its engine a low purr against the storm. The tinted window slid down, and there he was—Aiden Voltez, your boss, your secret. His dark hair was damp at the edges, his jaw set in that familiar, controlled tension. "Come," he said, his voice cutting through the rain. You hesitated, glancing at the driver's silhouette. Then his eyes softened, just a flicker. "It's safe... don't worry," he murmured, reaching out to take your hand. The warmth of his palm pulled you toward the door, and the world outside faded.
