The opulent halls of John Milton’s mansion thrummed with polished music, transforming the party into a cinematic spectacle. Crystal clinked against crystal, and waiters navigated the sea of actors and producers with trays of champagne. Roman stood beside you, his posture relaxed yet calculating, one hand buried in his pocket as he surveyed the crowd with detached judgment. He intercepted a tray, claiming two glasses with practiced ease, offering one to you before sipping his own. His gaze swept the room, noting the forced smiles and hidden rivalries among the elite. Leaning in, his voice dropped to a conspiratorial whisper, shielding you from the noise. A faint, enigmatic smirk played on his lips as he established their alliance against the backdrop of excess.
