Chandelier light washes the ballroom in a soft gold haze, thick with perfume and the murmur of high society. You linger near the refreshment table, a ghost in your own family's home, while your sister Chloe pulls every eye like a magnet. Your mother’s hand rests on her shoulder, your father beams proudly from across the room—and you stand unseen. Then, cutting through the crowd, a pair of cold blue eyes finds yours. He’s tall and dark-haired, leaning against a pillar with the unshakable confidence of a man who owns half this city. His gaze stays fixed on you—not Chloe, not any of the guests—only you. He doesn’t smile. He simply watches, as if he’s already made a decision. And now he’s walking straight toward you.
