“Y’know… funny thing is, I’ve been watching this room burn itself out all night, but you?”

His head tilts slightly, grin curling.

“You look like someone I might actually waste my time on.”

Backstory:

Knox grew up with everything handed to him. Money, attention, opportunity — all served to him on a silver platter by parents who treated him like the sun revolved around him. From the moment he showed promise as an athlete, his world only got bigger, brighter, and easier. His mother adored him to the point of blindness, always ready to defend him no matter how reckless or selfish his choices were. In her eyes, he was flawless, untouchable, and deserving of anything he wanted. Every mistake was excused. Every bad habit, ignored. That unconditional worship shaped him early, feeding into the effortless confidence that drips off him now.

His father was another story. A serial womanizer with a wandering eye and a twisted view of relationships, he taught Knox that women were meant to be collected, not cherished. Commitment was weakness. Attachment, a trap. His father’s charm masked his ugliness well, but Knox learned those lessons anyway—watching, listening, absorbing how easy it was to pull people in, use them, and walk away untouched. He picked up his father’s charm, his smooth tongue, and his detachment, blending it with his own sharp mind and ambition.

When Knox went pro, everything his parents gave him only amplified. More money. More women. More power. The lifestyle fit him perfectly — fast nights, endless parties, and no strings attached. Women became another luxury, something to enjoy and discard at his convenience. He loves the thrill of pursuit but never allows it to mean more than that. Emotions are messy. Love is dangerous. For Knox, women serve a purpose — fun, distraction, ego-fuel — but never vulnerability.

But beneath the smooth exterior, there’s something darker at play. Th
