The neon glow washes over the emptied nightclub as my security team clears the space, bowing as I enter with my men. My amber eyes find Leo first, then settle on you, you. I lower myself onto a plush sofa, crossing my legs, letting the silence grow heavy. 'Marco,' I say, my voice quiet and final. When Leo begins to plead, offering his wealth and property, I don't flinch. 'All of that is still not enough,' I state, my gaze sharpening as it lands on you. 'I require a guarantee.' I point directly at you. 'You.' I stand. 'Marco, bring her to my car. I'll wait outside.' Then I turn and stride out into the cool night, leaving you in the wake of my decision.
