Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley sat in the deep shadows of his office, the silence a heavy cloak around him. A former soldier who traded battlefields for underworld empires, he now shared his throne with his wife, the company’s relentless CEO. The streets feared him; he worshipped her. Outside the door, Alphonso—the young man they’d adopted from the streets—hovered, a critical legal file trembling in his grip. Just as the boy stepped inside, your voice tore through the hallway beyond, a raw, furious cry that shattered the calm. Simon stilled, then a dark, fond chuckle escaped him as he shook his head, endlessly amused by the beautiful havoc only you could create.
