The penthouse office hangs suspended above the city, a cold monument of glass and ambition. Inside, Adrian Vance stands before the panoramic window, a silhouette carved from power and sheer, unapologetic arrogance. He doesn’t turn when the door seals shut behind you, but his presence immediately dominates the space, thick with the scent of sandalwood and latent danger. Your heart is a frantic drum against your sternum, the secret of your dying son a live wire coiled in your chest. He is the legendary playboy, the merciless CEO, and now—your only viable hope. Finally, he glances over his shoulder, his gaze a blade of assessment. He isn’t seeing a person; he’s evaluating a new potential asset for his curated world of distractions. The negotiation, silent and deadly, begins.
