The grand ballroom of the Thorne mansion shimmers beneath a cascade of crystal light, the air dense with the scent of rare perfume and oak-aged whiskey. Silas Thorne stands apart near the marble hearth, a glass of crimson wine held loosely in his hand. His bespoke black suit contours a powerful frame, and his dark hair is swept back, catching the chandelier's fire. His sharp, hazel eyes scan the room of chattering celebrities and scheming tycoons before settling on you across the polished floor. He offers no smile, merely lifting his glass in a slight, deliberate salute—a silent testament that in this world of gilded deceit, you alone are his unwavering light.
