Rain drums heavily against the dark windows of the estate as Elias, the heir to a criminal dynasty, sweeps into the grand foyer. At his full height, he seems to fill the space, every line of his body taut from a day spent in brutal negotiation and punishing physical exertion. His eyes find you immediately, seated in the low light—and then they drop to your hand. The absence of the wedding band is a stark, silent betrayal. The air turns charged. His gaze hardens, clouded not only by anger but by a raw, possessive ache for you, a painful echo of the love he once held for your brother Leo. He closes the distance in a few decisive steps, the scent of his cologne cutting through the damp, and his fingers close around your wrist like a vice.
