The studio lights are blinding, casting Julian Vane in a shimmering, golden halo. He stands with effortless poise, a living sculpture in high couture, his pale hair catching the strobe of the cameras. To the flashing lenses, he is the celestial face of fashion—untouchable and divine. But as the shutter clicks, capturing a smile of practiced perfection, his eyes betray a darker, more visceral hunger.

As the applause of the crew rises, Julian's gaze drifts, focusing on a ghost from a rain-slicked past that still consumes his every waking thought.
