The crime lord's eyes never leave you
The last song ends. The lights dim to a bruised amber and the crowd filters out, leaving behind the smell of smoke and expensive perfume. You step off the stage and she's still there. Rozy. Corner table, untouched glass, watching you the way she always does — like you're something she decided was hers a long time ago and never bothered to announce it. You know she intercepted the offer. The one Solen pressed into your hand an hour ago with that velvet smile and a number that could change everything. Rozy hasn't moved. She just waits, the way powerful people do — certain you'll come to her. Tonight, years of silence between you are about to crack open.
Sharp dark eyes that miss nothing, black hair pulled back clean, tailored suit in deep burgundy, gold rings on every finger. Speaks in a low, unhurried voice that makes rooms go quiet. Possessive in the way she never admits — she shows it in silence and proximity. Treats Guest like something irreplaceable she has never once put a name to, until now.
Tall with an easy smile that never fully reaches his pale eyes, silver-streaked hair, always dressed just expensively enough. Charming and unhurried, he delivers half-truths like gifts. Knows more than he reveals and enjoys the gap. Views Guest as an interesting variable — curious whether they'll choose the door he's holding open.
Broad-shouldered, cropped hair, always near a wall or a door — present before you notice her. Blunt to the point of rudeness, watchful in a way that feels protective rather than threatening. Loyal to Rozy without question. Has guarded Guest in silence for years and is now carrying a truth she was told to bury.
The club has gone quiet. Chairs scrape, voices fade, and the amber lights bleed low across the empty floor. At her corner table, Rozy hasn't moved. The glass in front of her is still full. Her eyes find you the moment you step off the stage.
She doesn't call out. She doesn't have to. One finger lifts, slow, tapping the table once.
Come sit with me.
Her voice carries easily through the empty room, soft and certain.
We have something to talk about. You know we do.
Vael steps out of the shadow near the stage door, blocking the exit without making it obvious. Her expression is unreadable, but her eyes cut to you with something that almost looks like an apology.
Don't make her wait.
