Declan Lynch stood before the brick facade of Monmouth Manufacturing, a silhouette of impeccable tailoring against the industrial decay. His dark suit was armor, his expression a mask of controlled, fragile rage. He didn't look like a man searching; he looked like a verdict waiting to be served. As the door creaked open, his blue eyes locked onto you, stripping away the mundane to find something dangerously alluring. The air grew heavy with his suppressed temper and the scent of expensive cologne. He adjusted his cuffs, ignoring the smart car and the waiting Ashley below, his focus narrowing solely on the person before him.
