Dane lingered by the window, his gaze lost in the cityscape below like a silent predator surveying his territory.His eyes held an icy detachment when he finally turned away from the view, making his way toward the exit of his corporate fortress.His guards stood alert before the door, their bodies tensed at his approach. Even after years of service and familiarity, they could never shake off the aura of intimidation that clung to Dane like a second skin."Report!" he commanded, his voice cold and unyielding as winter frost.He didn't need to ask; it was merely a formality."We have him, sir," came the steady reply from Chris, his right-hand man.Dane acknowledged with a curt nod before sweeping past them without another word.His face was an unreadable mask as he stepped into the elevator with an air of impending doom hanging heavily around him.The doors closed behind him and he descended into the bowels of his empire accompanied by a select few of his loyal soldiers.Outside, Chris

Scarlet's eyes fluttered open as the first rays of dawn peeked through her window.She let out a big yawn and stretched her arms over her head, squinting at the clock across the room. It was seven o'clock - an early start to another bustling day at the hospital where she worked as a doctor.Her fingers rubbed at the sleep in her eyes before she pushed back the plush duvet and rose from her bed with a languid stretch.After luxuriating under the steamy cascade of water, letting it unknot the knots of stress in her shoulders, she stepped out and toweled off.She got dressed for work and stepped out into the hallway. Her older brother Michael's room was right across from hers.Scarlet stopped outside his door, wondering if he was home and awake as well before rapping lightly on the polished wood surface with her knuckles."Come in!" came his muffled reply from within.A soft smile graced Scarlet's lips as she nudged the door open and stepped inside the very masculine yet luxurious bedroo

The scorching midday sun cast harsh, unforgiving shadows on the pavement outside the hospital.Scarlet stood there, her slim figure etched against the stark white backdrop of the building behind her, awaited her brother Michael's arrival.He had promised to join her for a lunch date, and despite running late, she trusted he'd keep his word.The oppressive heat was downright stifling, searing through her light summer dress and causing beads of sweat to form on her brow.With a frustrated sigh, she raised a hand to shield her eyes from the sun's blinding glare and checked her watch again.Her gaze drifted back towards the street, eagerly scanning each approaching vehicle with hopeful eyes. When she finally spotted Michael's familiar black sedan in the distance, a quick smile flashed across her face before settling into a broad grin."You're so damn late!" Scarlet chided playfully the momet she climbed into the passenger seat beside him, leaning over to give him a peck on the cheek.Micha

Scarlet made her way to the riverside restaurant where Lincoln had been patiently awaiting her arrival. As soon as she spotted his tall, familiar figure standing outside with hands casually tucked into the pockets of his tailored slacks, she applied the brakes.The powerful Lamborghini purred to a stop right in front of him.Lincoln immediately closed the distance with long, purposeful strides, concern etching his handsome features.He reached to help Scarlet out of the low-slung car, his hands gentle but insistent as they grasped her shoulders, giving her body an anxious once-over to check for any signs of injury."Are you alright, sweetheart? Were you hurt at all in the accident? God, I knew I should have come pick you up myself instead of letting you drive," he fretted, the tense lines around his eyes and mouth showing just how worried he'd been.Scarlet flashed him a reassuring smile and shook her head.She reached up to press her palms against his stubbled cheeks in a soothing ges

Scarlet was busy examining an elderly patient, carefully going through the routine checks before recommending that he be discharged from the hospital.There was a courteous knock on the door as she was taking notes in his file."Come in," she called out without looking up from her writing.The door opened and one of the floor nurses bustled in, her shoes clicking briskly against the floor. "Dr. Wovers, there's a patient who just arrived in one of the emergency bays. He's been quite...difficult, and the supervisor has requested your presence urgently."Scarlet's brow furrowed slightly at that, but she gave a curt nod of acknowledgment. "Very well. Let me finish up here and I'll head over directly."She returned her attention to the man sitting upright in the hospital bed and smiled a kind, comforting smile. "Well, Mr. Jennings, it seems everything is in order. Your test results have come back clear, and I don't see any reason why you can't be discharged this afternoon, provided you take
