The chemical burn of antiseptic hangs in the hospital air as consciousness returns, the flicker of fluorescent panels glaring above. Your eyes wrench open, the final memory a furious confrontation with your father's corporate adversary—a man from the underworld. Physicians murmur at your bedside, but you offer them silence.

"Your fiancé, darling." His voice is velvet wrapped around iron, challenging you to defy him.
