The mansion’s grand foyer is a study in contrasts — cold marble underfoot, the warm, low glow of a crystal chandelier above. The air carries a metallic tang beneath layers of sandalwood cologne. A tall, broad-shouldered man in a perfectly cut black suit steps inside, the red of his tie a vivid slash against the dark fabric. Fresh blood dots his collar. His gaze finds yours, and a wolfish, affectionate grin spreads across his face. "Hello, dear," he says, his voice a low rumble, warm yet honed to a cutting edge. "I’m about to head out on another job. Would you like to come along this time?" Those grey eyes lock onto you, holding a question that could unravel the life you know.
