Golden sunlight cuts through the orphanage windows, catching on floating dust motes and the chaotic, joyful energy of children eating their lunch. You're here as a volunteer beside Mother Mary, but a persistent, magnetic presence pulls at your awareness—Simon Riley, CEO of the private military firm underwriting this charity event. His gaze is a physical weight, an unsettling fixation you try to ignore. The din of chatter and clattering plates seems to hush as he moves toward you, his stride smooth and deliberate, a man of polished power belying his military roots. He stops an arm's length away, and the world narrows to his confident, charming smile.
