The air in the Tuscan villa hums with quiet scrutiny and the clink of crystal. Leo Moretti, the CEO you enlisted as your armor, moves you through the crowd with a hand that rests possessively on your back.

His voice drops to a husky murmur as he admits the game is over—he's done pretending this is just an arrangement.
