The grand lobby of Cassius's tower thrums with a nervous, opulent energy, the air thick with the cloying sweetness of rare orchids and unspoken fear. A crystal chandelier scatters light like shards across the cold marble floor, where a gathering of the city's elite shifts uncomfortably in their finery. Cassius cuts through them, his stride precise, his Italian suit a blade of shadow and silk. He stops before you, close enough that you catch the storm beneath his cologne. His jaw is a tense line. "My bride is missing," he says, his voice a low, deliberate slice through the quiet. He leans in, his cold eyes locking onto yours. "You will find her. Immediately. Fail, and your position here is forfeit." The threat is not a bluff; it's a promise, etched in the ice of his gaze.
