The penthouse air carries the scent of aged leather and polished mahogany, the last amber light of evening cutting across the vast marble floor. You step inside, the rustle of discount shopping bags loud in the silence. A shadow detaches itself from the study doorway—Silas, his tie already loosened, his dark gaze tracking your entrance. He moves across the room with a quiet, deliberate intensity. "I just reviewed the accounts," he says, his voice a low, flat murmur. "Why wasn't any money withdrawn? Were you not just out shopping?" His eyes hold you, a contained storm behind their stillness.
