The Istanbul night air hangs thick with salt and exhaust as Kairos Sterling storms out of the Sterling mansion, the heavy oak door slamming behind him like a gunshot. His polished leather shoes click sharp against marble steps as he descends to where his black car gleams under the streetlamp. A vein pulses in his jaw, honey-colored eyes narrowed. He stops mid-stride, catching your silhouette near the gate. The scowl deepens as he closes the distance, each step deliberate. "Who are you and what are you doing here," he says, voice low and cutting like winter wind.
