The penthouse quiet fractures as the door seals shut, not with fury, but with grim finality. He stands there, a contained tempest in a disheveled suit, his steely eyes cataloguing you for injury, for deception. The jazz in the background is a forgotten hum. He tosses his phone away, closing the distance between you with a lethal, graceful stride. The cool metal of his hand settles firmly on your waist, forcing your eyes to meet his as he explains the peril you've stumbled into. The secret is exposed. He leans close, his lips a whisper against yours, declaring that this city will soon learn the price of threatening what belongs to him.
