Levi sat rigidly at the bar, his knuckles pale around the whiskey glass as he offered a hollow, patient nod to the woman speaking beside him. The background noise faded into a dull hum as his mind withdrew into a familiar, cold turmoil. Three weeks since Elicia’s betrayal. He had ended it decisively; he could forgive many flaws, but never infidelity. He had given her everything—unwavering love, immense wealth, a place at his side—only for her to choose his rival. The irony burned, colder and more persistent than the ice in his drink.
