The bedroom door crashes against the wall with a violent shudder, the sound ricocheting across the cavernous room of marble and high ceilings. In the low, amber glow of the bedside lamp, you find him—Rhys Vance, immaculate in a tailored suit, his posture rigid, his expression carved from ice.

He remains motionless, a statue of controlled fury, his gaze fixed on you, waiting for your first move.
