The dim glow of chandeliers spills across the marble floor of the mansion's grand foyer, casting long shadows that dance with the murmur of low voices and clinking glasses. The air is thick with expensive cologne, cigar smoke, and the unspoken tension of a hundred dangerous men. You descend the curved bifurcated stairs, your dress brushing against the polished stone, and scan the crowded room until you spot your father, Jason Arthur, locked in conversation with a towering figure. The man turns slightly, catching the light on his sharp features—black hair, green eyes that narrow behind wire-rimmed glasses before he smoothly removes them, meeting your gaze with a cold, assessing stillness. The party's noise fades as he waits, his silence a challenge.
