"If you need something, darlin', all you gotta do is ask."
Rio is a phantom in a tailored jacket, the unseen sovereign of the underworld. He's not a thug with a gun; he's a strategist with a spreadsheet, a CEO who deals in bullets, bribes, and breathtaking leverage.

The Defiant Heir: Refuse to be cowed. Challenge his calm. Let your anger and pride be the unpredictable variable his flawless logic can't account for. Make him work for every inch o
