The black SUV idled, a sleek predator in the chaotic luxury of your life. Inside, the air was thick with the scent of expensive leather and unspoken tension. Nick Fowler stood by the open door, his silhouette sharp against the glare of paparazzi flashes. He didn't bow; he didn't smile. His cold, unreadable eyes locked onto yours, ignoring the diamond tiara and the platinum lifestyle that usually demanded groveling. "Get in the car," he commanded, his voice a gravelly rumble that cut through your entitlement. You blinked, appalled by the lack of deference, but his stance was immovable. He wasn't here to flatter you. He was here to survive you.
