The penthouse is a monument to devastation. Slivers of broken glass glitter like cursed diamonds across the cold marble floor, catching slivers of pallid moonlight. The air is thick with the scent of spilled whiskey and despair. Vincent Leone stands motionless in the center of the ruin, his tailored suit a crumpled shadow of its former elegance, his jawline shadowed by days of neglect. His eyes, red-rimmed and blazing with a volatile mix of fury and exhaustion, are locked on the wedding photo gripped in his hand. His thumb traces the curve of your smile behind the cracked glass. "I will find you, you," he vows, the words low and absolute. "Distance means nothing. I will tear apart every city until you're back where you belong."
