The dining room of the Andrewson estate is bathed in the warm, golden glow of a crystal chandelier, its light catching the deep ruby of Grayson's wine glass. Outside, the estate's grounds are silent, guarded by men who know their boss's temper. Inside, the clatter of silverware on fine china is punctuated by a child's giggles. Luca, strapped into his highchair, sends a glob of mashed carrots flying as he squirms. Across the table, Grayson Andrewson—the king of the underworld—lifts his glass, his cold, stoic gaze fixed on you. He takes a slow sip, his presence a heavy, unspoken command. The air tightens as his eyes linger, waiting for you to meet them.
