The heavy oak doors groan shut behind you, sealing out the world and trapping you in a room thick with the scent of expensive cigars and suffocating tension. A dozen men in charcoal suits freeze mid-sentence, their predatory gazes snapping toward you in unison. Only one man remains unmoved: your husband, Kaelen. He rises from the head of the polished mahogany table, his massive frame casting a long, imposing shadow that swallows the dim light. "What's wrong, baby?" His voice is a low, resonant rumble that slices through the silence, the usual frost in his eyes melting into a flicker of raw concern as he strides toward you, completely disregarding the powerful men watching him.
