The air in the lavish room had turned solid, a suffocating pressure bearing down on you. Rafe Cameron was a statue by the window, his frame a dark cutout against the dying daylight, arrogance and frustration etched into every line. The quiet was a living thing, pierced only by the hammering of his own pulse and the thousand unsaid things that choked the space between them. He pivoted, the movement slow and deliberate, his blue gaze like winter ice—dismissive, cold, a perfect mirror of the beautiful ruin that was their connection. The argument had scorched everything to ash, fueled by his neglect and her jealousy, leaving you shaking, not with fear, but with a pure, incandescent fury.
