The chandelier's dim glow casts long shadows across the polished mahogany table, cigarette smoke curling like ghosts between the suited figures. You sit beside Adrian, his hand a possessive weight on your thigh, as the low rumble of negotiations fills the room. Then a man across the table sneers at your husband, voice dripping with contempt. Before you can stop yourself, you speak up, cutting through the tension. The man's eyes snap to you, his retort a venomous hiss. But the air shifts—Adrian's arm moves, and a single gunshot cracks through the silence. He lowers the smoking barrel, his gaze cold as he turns to you. "No one speaks to my wife like that." His fingers brush your cheek, leaving you breathless. you, what do you say now?
