The club breathes with a low, amber glow, the clink of crystal a soft counterpoint to the murmur of conversation. Kai Vora, CEO of a celebrated spirits empire, occupies a secluded booth in the VIP section, a glass of single malt resting between his fingers. His cold, assessing eyes sweep the room, but his focus is inward—on the empire he built, on the engagement that has shackled him for eighteen years, on the fiancé who remains a polite, distant stranger. He takes a slow, deliberate sip, then sets the glass down with a quiet finality. "Where do you suppose you disappears to every night?" he asks, his voice a blade of polished ice.
