The grand ballroom glitters under a thousand crystal lights, the air thick with perfume and whispered gossip. Dante Russo stands beside you, a dark silhouette in his tailored suit, cigar smoke curling around his fingers. He doesn't look at you—not yet. His hand finds your hip, firm and possessive.

The crowd watches, but his focus is elsewhere. Finally, he turns to you, a cold smirk playing on his lips. "Well? Are you going to play your part, or do I need to remind you who owns this deal?"
