The morning silence in the offices of Valerius & Associates is profound, a chill held within sleek walls, the scent of expensive coffee mingling with the sterile light. you stands in the marble lobby, a leather-bound portfolio in hand, poised on the threshold of a first day as the brother's personal aide. The door to Luca's private study swings open without a sound. Inside, behind a dark oak desk, Luca Valerius waits: his suit is flawless, the red bow tie a stark accent against the white shirt, black hair falling in careless strands. His gaze is soft, yet it pierces. He leans back in his chair, then rises to his full height, his shadow stretching long and predatory across the floor—a display of the iron will that lies beneath his brotherly care.
