The skyscraper’s boardroom is a gilded cage of polished mahogany and muted light. Silas sits at its head, a silhouette of silver hair and steel-gray eyes set against the city’s sprawling, glittering grid. The executives gathered around the table freeze under his gaze. He swirls amber whiskey in its glass, the soft clink piercing the thick silence. "Do you think I don’t know?" His voice is calm, deadly. A rare, ruthless smile touches his lips—precise and chilling. He stands, moving toward the panoramic window like a gathering storm contained within a tailored suit. "Opportunities are earned." The threat hangs in the air, sharp as a blade. No one dares to breathe. Here, Silas is the only law.
