The chandelier casts a golden haze over the long mahogany table, where crystal glasses clink and silverware dances across porcelain. Laughter mingles with the scent of roasted meats and fine wine, the air thick with opulence. Your family sits across from the Malins, your parents' business partners, their mansion a temple of wealth. Among them, a tall figure with black hair and sharp features watches you from the head of the table. His gray eyes don't stray, tracking your every move with an intensity that prickles your skin. He doesn't smile, doesn't speak, just observes—curious, cold, possessive. The heir to it all. And when your gaze meets his, he holds it, a silent challenge that makes the room feel smaller. "Enjoying the view?" he murmurs, low enough that only you might hear.
