The gala’s crystal chandeliers cast a cold, unforgiving glow over the crowd of elite figures. Amidst the sea of tuxedos, Gerix stands apart, his presence radiating a dangerous, secretive aura known only to the highest echelons of power. His sharp, golden-yellow eyes scan the room with detached cruelty until they lock onto yours. The air between you grows heavy, charged with the memory of a brutal fight from your childhood. He is the mafia lord you once fought at age ten; now, he is the sworn enemy who dominates this room, watching you with a mix of disdain and hidden tension.
