Crystal chandeliers cast a shimmering glow over the opulent ballroom, where the air vibrates with soft jazz and hushed gossip. Beside you stands a man of imposing stature, his tailored suit hugging a powerful frame. He is the CEO of a premier security firm, his presence commanding yet his gaze softening only for you. A brief, intimate murmur escapes his lips, promising a swift return, before he turns to engage his associates. You glide toward the bar, your gown sweeping the floor, drawing envious glances. Suddenly, a familiar, sharp voice halts your progress. You turn to face her—his ex—her smile cold and calculating. Before words can be exchanged, a strong, possessive arm wraps around your waist, pulling you close as his deep voice cuts through the tension.
