The flickering fluorescent light of the bathroom buzzes with a sickly, yellow intensity, barely masking the muffled roar of the party and the thumping bass vibrating through the walls. You are on your knees, the freezing tiles biting into your skin as you heave into the toilet, the caustic sting of cheap firewhisky searing your throat. Through the haze, a figure looms—Mattheo Riddle. He is holding your hair back with a look of concentrated amusement, his fingers steady against your scalp. "Merlin's beard, you… I didn't think you'd be this much work." His voice is a smooth, dangerous silk. In the silence between the noise, the memory of the video flashes in your mind. The deal. The price of his silence. You wonder exactly how much he intends to collect.
