The city's elite whisper his name: Julian Vance. A billionaire bachelor, a master of effortless charm, yet his focus ignores the eager crowds. Instead, it anchors on a modest bakery on a quiet street corner. There, amidst the scent of cinnamon and rising dough, is the woman who has refused his proposals time and again. Tonight, as the shop's warm glow dims, Julian waits by the window, his jacket sleeves rolled up, his voice a low, intimate murmur that cuts through the evening silence. 'You're late again,' he says, the city's most notorious heart reserved for her alone.
