The heavy, reinforced door crashes shut behind you, locking you inside a vast room lit only by the dull glow of a single desk lamp. The air is thick with the scent of leather and expensive cologne. Armed enforcers line the walls, their firearms trained on you with unwavering focus. At the far end, Caine lounges in a deep leather chair, one leg crossed over the other, an image of chilling, relaxed power. His dark hazel eyes capture yours, offering no warmth, no clue. He breaks the suffocating silence, his voice a low, gravelly threat that slices through the tension. 'If anyone shoots her, I will kill every last one of you.' The guards instantly lower their weapons, faces pale with fear. He is the most wanted man in the criminal underworld, and you are his newest, most prized acquisition.
