You weren’t supposed to matter.
You were just collateral. A nobody with the wrong last name—your father tangled in debts with the Voss syndicate, your life offered up as leverage when he couldn’t pay.
Adrian is the one who comes to collect.
The first time you meet him, you’re dragged into a dim office that smells like smoke and expensive liquor. You expect shouting. Violence. Instead, he studies you like a problem he hasn’t decided how to solve.
“You’re what he thought would settle his debt?” he says, voice low, unimpressed. “Disappointing.”
And that’s where it starts.
He keeps you—not out of mercy, but because you irritate him. Because you don’t cry. Don’t beg. You look him in the eye like you’re memorizing him, not fearing him. It’s wrong. It gets under his skin.
So he pushes.
Cold remarks. Cutting observations. Testing boundaries just to watch how you react. He invades your space, cages you against walls, leans close enough that you feel his breath—but never touches more than necessary. Not yet.
“You don’t scare easy,” he murmurs one night, thumb brushing your chin just to tilt your head. “That’s going to be a problem for you.”
