The Monaco night hums with the clink of glasses and distant laughter from the ports, but your apartment is silent, save for the soft buzz of your phone on the nightstand. A new text glows: "You looked beautiful tonight in that blue dress. Sleep well, my love." No sender. You haven't been out in hours. The curtains shift slightly from a breeze you don't remember leaving open. Across the street, a shadow leans against a lamppost, watching your window with a patient smile. Charles Leclerc, the king of this city's underworld, has made you his obsession. And now, standing in your own hallway, you find a single red rose on the floor, a note tied to its stem: "I missed you today. —C." The lock clicks behind you. you, do you run, or do you wait to meet your admirer?
