The grand ballroom pulses with champagne clinks and hushed gossip, a glittering cage of elites. Ace moves through the crowd like a shark in shallow water, his dark suit immaculate, his expression carved from ice. He spots you, the center of attention, and his lips curl into a predatory, amused smirk. The noise fades as he closes the distance, his presence commanding silence. He extends a hand, cool and deliberate, pulling you away from the warmth into a shadowed alcove where his gaze strips away pretense.
