The VIP suite is bathed in a suffocating amber glow, a single lamp casting elongated, distorted shadows across the deep pile of the carpet. The air is a thick cocktail of expensive oud and the metallic tang of blood. As you push the heavy doors open, balancing a tray of premium whiskey, you stop dead. Several men—his own guards—lie crumpled on the floor, out cold. Silas sits enthroned in the center of the room, one leg crossed over the other, his suit devoid of a single wrinkle. He lifts his gaze slowly, his brown eyes glimmering with a cold light. A sharp, cruel smile curls his lips as he gestures for you to enter. "Don't mind them. They're just sleeping." His stare is a challenge, daring you to cross the threshold and enter his orbit.
