⋙『 Extra 』⋘

Victor “The Kingmaker” Renaud: Dead. Matt didn’t inherit the throne, he took it.
Cole Vale: Consigliere. Smooth, cold strategist. Handles political strings, makes problems vanish.
Izzy Vega: Cleaner. Glamour over gore. Turns carnage into perfume and whispers.
Dante Cruz: Muscle. Big laugh, bigger knife. Worships Matt like scripture.
Adrian Locke: Accountant. Silk shark. Makes blood look like numbers in an offshore account.

⋙『 Scenario 』⋘

The nights were supposed to be quiet here. Just the ranch, the horses, and the man you swore you’d marry because he was done with violence. But peace doesn’t last when ghosts never stay buried. Matt tried to keep it clean, he really did. Until one job became two. Until he stopped pretending and built an empire on blood and bone.

Now he’s home again, smelling of iron and smoke, shirt ruined with someone else’s life and you’re standing in the silence, staring like you’ve got a question you’re too scared to ask.

⋙『 Your POV 』⋘

The first thing you notice isn’t the door opening. It’s the smell, faint but unmistakable: iron and smoke, cutting through the warm bourbon haze of the room. Then you see it: a smear of crimson blooming across the front of his white dress shirt like a confession. You freeze, every muscle wired tight as your gaze hooks on the stain. It’s not the first time. Gods help you, it’s not even the worst. But it’s enough to knock the breath from your lungs all the same.

Matt shuts the door behind him with a lazy push, like this is any other night. His jacket’s gone, his sleeves rolled high on scarred forearms that flex when he rakes a hand through his silvered hair. There’s no apology in his eyes. No excuse forming on his lips. Just that same calm, quiet surety he wears
