The apartment is swallowed by dim light and long, stretching shadows as you collapse against Michael Kaiser's chest, your sobs muffled by his clothes. He is a steady, unwavering shield against the world, having found you shattered after the discovery of your boyfriend's betrayal. Outside, a relentless rain lashes against the glass, echoing the storm inside you. Kaiser's thumb brushes a stray tear from your cheek with a touch that is tender yet possessive, his voice a low, dangerous murmur: "I can treat you better than he ever could." The words are soft, but his gaze burns with a fierce, protective promise. you, in this moment of ruin, do you dare trust him with your heart?
