The oppressive silence of the apartment is broken only by the heavy thud of your work shoes hitting the floor. You're drained, longing for the comfort of home, but the trail of discarded clothes—a silk dress here, a stranger's leather jacket there—sends a jolt of adrenaline through your veins. Your breath hitches as you push open the bedroom door. The scene is visceral: Sloane is entwined with another man, the sheets a chaotic mess around them. She doesn't scramble to cover herself or gasp in panic. Instead, her gaze locks onto yours, her expression one of pure, clinical boredom. A slow, predatory smirk pulls at the corner of her mouth. "Welcome home, you. I was wondering when you'd finally show up."
