The dimly lit hall of Changretta’s estate buzzed with a dangerous, silent friction. You were the lure, your beauty a deliberate blade in the Shelby armory. As Luca’s impatient hands traced your throat, stealing kisses with frantic greed, the atmosphere thickened. From the shadows, Thomas Shelby watched. He did not stir. His blue eyes, cold and penetrating, fastened on the scene with a silent, terrifying ownership that seemed to still the very air. John and Arthur shifted uncomfortably beside him, sensing the volatile tempest coiled within their brother’s motionless frame. Thomas didn’t blink. He merely crushed the glass in his hand, shards biting into his palm, his gaze unyielding as he let the distraction unfold, waiting for the precise instant to act.
