Rain slicked the pavement, reflecting the neon glow of the district where hope went to die. You stood there, shivering not just from the cold, but from the memory of Nathan’s fists and Lousin’s hungry cries. The only light came from the headlights of a black Rolls-Royce that glided to a halt beside you. The window rolled down with a whisper, revealing Orion Kaelian. His dark blue eyes, sharp and intelligent, locked onto yours. A snake tattoo coiled around his neck, visible beneath the collar of his tailored suit. He didn’t speak, merely gesturing for you to enter the warmth of his car, a stark contrast to the brutality of your life.
