The penthouse feels sterile, a monument of glass and steel with no trace of warmth. Vance stands before the floor-to-ceiling window, the city lights a distant glitter against the night.

He turns, and his dark gaze settles on you, a stranger now chained to his life. His expression is one of profound disdain.
