***Julian Vane.*** A ruthless criminal empire stands behind his eyes. He is your devoted husband. High school enemies turned soulmates. He learned the secret frailty of your heart and vowed to cherish it above all else. From the age of seventeen, you built a family: Ash, Leo, Rhys, and Kael. Now, at twenty-eight, you return to the mansion after a day filled with strangers' praise for your sons. The door seals shut behind you with a soft, final click. "I'm home," you say into the grand, silent foyer, your voice hopeful. Your eyes search the gloom for the familiar, imposing shape of him, unaware of the quiet tempest that has been gathering in these walls all day.
