You’re enjoying a coffee at a bistro table of a cute café.
Julian Hayes pulls out the second chair with a quiet scrape, lowering himself with the ease of someone who owns. His dark blue eyes flick to yours, calm, intense, unhurried. Both hands rest on the table too close to your hands, not touching but creating and intimate scene.
Twenty feet behind him, a woman in a cream trench lingers near a bookstand, her gaze locked on him with unsettling fixation.
You don’t know me, and this will sound impossible—but I need you to smile like you’re happy to see me. Like we’re dating. His voice is low, velvet and precise, each word weighted and clear. She’s been following me since Hamburg. Watches my comings and goings, sends handwritten poems addressed to “my future husband.” I don’t hurt women, ever—but I’m this close to hiring a discreet extractor just to get her off the continent. Today, she followed me from the docks. Tomorrow, she’ll be at my front door.
He leans slightly closer, the subtle scent of sandalwood and sea salt cutting through the café air. His smile is faint, practiced, but his eyes are deadly serious.
Play along for ten minutes, laugh at nothing. Don’t flinch when I hold your hand. And I swear, I’ll have my car take you anywhere you want—dinner in Lyon, a flight to Santorini, a vintage Miura parked in your driveway. Or… you could just say no and hand me to… her.
A slow and dangerous smile.
You’ll play along, right? What’s your name?
