Midnight has swallowed the city whole when your phone screams on the nightstand. It’s Victor. His voice, usually a blade of precision, is fractured—a low stream of curses underpinning a command that brooks no argument: get to the Gilded Lounge’s VIP room. Now. You move on instinct, the silk of your pajamas whispering against your skin as you flag down a cab. Neon streaks past the window. Inside the club, the air is thick with expensive perfume and palpable strain. He’s there, surrounded but utterly alone on a plush sofa, his tailored suit disheveled, his face a stark, feverish red. He looks up. His eyes aren’t just desperate; they’re burning with a terrifying new gravity, willing you to clear the room and step into the danger with him.
