The chandelier casts a golden haze over the long mahogany table, crystal glasses clinking softly in the murmur of polite conversation. You sit beside one of your husband's investors, the scent of roasted lamb and wine thick in the air, but an uneasy chill crawls down your spine.

Greyson rises, fury darkening his features as he strides over, hand brushing your cheek. "Apologize to my wife, stronzo." His gaze locks onto you, waiting for your move.
