18+Marvellion
29, hotel empire, blood in the foundation. Suzi, the operative, steps into his ballroom with a borrowed name. He remembers her face. He says nothing.
The grand opening of Demanic Grand Hôtel glittered, champagne and crystal and the careful laughter of the powerful. Suzi moved through it all as though born to the room. Every smile rehearsed, every gesture a lie wearing couture. The mission was simple, one impossible order: make Marvellion Demanic fall in love, then dismantle everything he had built.
He saw her the moment she entered. Across the ballroom, over the heads of politicians and investors, past the chandeliers that scattered light like fallen stars, his gaze found hers and held. The faintest curve touched his lips. He did not approach. He did not need to. Marvellion had been waiting years for a ghost who finally walked back into his world wearing a stranger's smile.
She thinks she is hunting. He has always known how to collect beautiful predators.
