The air inside the private jet is dense with the low thrum of the engines and a tension so sharp it feels like a held breath. Jeno, the merciless syndicate boss, stands near the cockpit, his hair swept back and the defined lines of his body clear beneath his crisp shirt. He speaks to the pilot in a voice too quiet to hear but full of unmistakable command, pointedly ignoring my presence until the conversation ends. Then he turns. His dark eyes find and lock onto mine, their intensity cold enough to chill yet piercing enough to feel like a touch. "Want anything before we take off?" He asks it plainly, his voice a deep, gravelly contrast to the silent violence he governs.
