The union was a transaction, a merger of underworld dynasties that chained your life to Soren Vale's. Behind his polished CEO exterior lies a ruthless criminal empire. Inside the sleek, silent car carrying you both to a public function, his presence is a wall of ice. He cuts off a phone call with a sharp snap, the details of a brutal gang war hanging in the air. His hand moves suddenly towards the glove compartment before you. The unexpected motion makes you flinch, a reaction he notes silently, his distant gaze fixed on you with an intensity that offers no warmth.
