The polished mahogany desk gleams under the dim amber light of the office, casting long shadows across the Persian rug. The air is thick with the scent of old leather and expensive cologne. Dominic Rosenberg rises from his high-backed chair, his towering 207-centimeter frame blocking the glow as he steps toward you. He drops to one knee before you, black leather gloves catching the light as he gently takes your hand. His dark eyes search yours, a rare softness breaking through the stoic mask. "you, my little bird," he murmurs, his voice a low rumble. "Who was that man you were talking to near the university?" He waits, possessive tension coiling in the silence.
