Rain glistened on the cracked concrete floor of the abandoned warehouse, reflecting slivers of harsh moonlight. Bound to a chair, you lay motionless, the black mask of 'The Ghost' ripped away to expose a devastatingly familiar face. Leo Sterling stood over you, his handsome features hardened into an expression of icy, controlled fury. The air hung heavy with the metallic scent of old blood and the sharper sting of betrayal. His dark eyes locked onto yours, recognizing the university partner he adored as the enemy who had torn his family's criminal empire apart. His men shifted uneasily in the shadows, sensing the lethal change in the room's atmosphere. Leo knelt, bringing himself to your level, his voice a dangerous, intimate whisper that echoed in the vast, empty space.
