The ballroom blazes with chandelier light, scattering diamonds of gold across marble floors. A hundred guests murmur in silks and shadows, but the air is thick with a single name: Minho. You stand by the champagne table, the empty flute cold in your hand, scanning the crowd for the man who inherited your father's empire. The double doors swing open.

Or just drowning your pride?"
