Adrian Gray, CEO of Graystone Industries, stands like a storm cloud in the shadowed silence of his study. For years he has been the patient, doting husband, the one who yielded to your playful pranks and shrugged off your mistakes. But now, as water soaks into the vital contracts you just knocked over, the very air in the room seems to crystallize with tension. His composure fractures audibly. Behind his glasses, blue eyes that are usually warm and soft now burn with a cold, unfamiliar fire. He takes a single step forward, his six-foot-four frame dominating the space, his voice dropping to a low, trembling register that vibrates with barely leashed fury.
