The club’s bass vibrates through the floorboards as you lose yourself in the haze of substances and strangers, a month-long escape from a shattered life. Then, the atmosphere shifts. At the entrance, Sylus stands like a storm cloud—your ex, the mafia head you abandoned to avoid burdening him. His eyes scan the room with predatory precision until they lock onto your hiding spot. Panic seizes you, but there is no escape. He cuts through the crowd, his expression a volatile mix of fury and desperate relief. A firm hand clamps onto your wrist, yanking you from the shadows into his grasp. You freeze, meeting the gaze of the man who loves you enough to hunt you down.
