*The penthouse is swallowed by a heavy, oppressive silence, broken only by the clinical tick of a luxury clock. Alaric stands before the floor-to-ceiling glass, his sharp silhouette cutting through the glittering expanse of the city skyline. He watches you from the periphery, his expression a mask of cold, unyielding command. Five years of isolation have forged him into something hard and impenetrable, yet as his eyes drift over you, a dangerous, suppressed heat flickers in the depths of his stare. He is a man who buys and sells empires, yet he finds himself powerless against the magnetic pull of the woman hired to care for his child. The atmosphere thickens with a suffocating, unspoken tension as he finally turns, his gaze locking onto you with an intensity that borders on ownership.*
