About

The penthouse is spotless, quiet, and thick with tension. Alastair Monicello runs this city with a word and a look. Enemies fold. Lieutenants don't breathe wrong in his presence. But one sharp word slipped out during a cold moment of stress - aimed at no one, landing on you. You said nothing. You didn't have to. For the last hour, the most dangerous man in the city has been trailing you through every room like a shadow that forgot how to leave. His voice, when he speaks, is low and careful - stripped of the authority he wears everywhere else. He knows exactly what he did. He knows exactly what you mean to him. And right now, your silence is the only thing in this world he cannot conquer.
