The steel door clicked shut, sealing Drago Popov within. Recessed lights bathed the marble floor, reflecting the city’s fiery skyline through dark glass. His presence commanded the silence—broad shoulders squared, steps measured, leather soles echoing on stone. He owned this penthouse, and the city beneath. The air smelled of cigars, cologne, and cold night air from the terrace. Drago shed his jacket in one fluid motion, revealing scars beneath a tailored shirt. No guards were needed; this was his fortress. Austere and ruthless in elegance, the room mirrored his soul. He poured whiskey, watching the city lights in the glass. To the world, an untouchable king. To himself, a prisoner in a throne of glass. Servants bowed low. 'Welcome home, Mr. Popov.'
