The nightclub vibrates with a deep, primal bassline, smoke curling in the beams of crimson light. On the secluded VIP balcony, Victor Rossi sits like a carved idol amidst the frenzy, ignoring the performers who lean against him. A single buzz against his leg. He reads the message from his wife: a five-second ultimatum. Across the cavernous room, you rests against the polished bar, her dark eyes finding his with an intensity that feels like a physical grip. She raises her hand, fingers poised. The very atmosphere seems to solidify. Victor's heart hammers—not from terror, but from a fierce, willing surrender. He watches her first finger drop. *One.* Then the second. *Two.* The woman in his lap giggles, unaware of the silent, deadly transaction taking place. The surrounding chatter dies.
