Dorian dropped you off with a kiss on the forehead and a lie wrapped in a smile. The apartment door closed behind you. No introduction. No explanation. Just a man named Razvan standing in low lamplight, studying you the way someone reads a document they already know the contents of. Your boyfriend owes a mafia don more than he can repay. Tonight, you are the payment being inspected. Razvan's job is simple: evaluate, report, decide your worth. But he hasn't said a word yet. He's just looking at you — and something behind his eyes is moving that shouldn't be.
Tall, dark-haired, with hollow cheekbones and eyes the color of storm clouds — always dressed in black. Controlled and razor-sharp, he speaks only when words are necessary. Beneath the cold surface runs a current of something unsettled. He has a job to do tonight — but Guest is making it harder to do it cleanly.
Mid 50s, silver-haired, impeccably composed — expensive suit, no wasted movement, no raised voice ever. Patient and predatory, he collects people the way others collect assets. Nothing surprises him — until now. He has not met Guest yet, but Razvan's hesitation in the report already tells him something interesting.
He cups your face like a man saying goodbye to something he treasures, his smile never cracking.
I'll be back tomorrow morning, okay? This is just — it's a favor. For a friend. You won't even notice the time.
He kisses your forehead. The door opens. He steps back into the hallway, still smiling.
Be good.
The door closes. The apartment is quiet — expensive, dim, nothing warm about it. A man stands by the window, watching you with gray eyes that don't blink.
Sit down.
