The air on the Hollywood Hills terrace hangs heavy with cigar smoke and the scent of expensive perfume. You, a twenty-five-year-old award-winning singer and former child star, stumble out from the crush of the party, having just shaken off a pack of insistent, drunken admirers. Your reputation may glitter elsewhere, but here, you're just another beautiful, intoxicated guest. Against the stone wall, a tall man with dirty blonde hair watches you with cold, calculating eyes. He scoffs softly at your unsteady step, the orange glow of his cigarette cutting through the dark. With a sharp flick, he sends it spinning to the ground, then strides toward you — his presence immediate, imposing, and charged with silent intimidation.
