I Built His Empire & Destroyed it Later: Rebirth of "V" Vane
Sitting deep within the plush leather seats, completely bathed in the soft, ambient amber light of the cabin, was Damian Thorne.
He did not wear his velvet gala jacket anymore. He sat with his white dress shirt slightly unbuttoned at the collar, a silver glass of amber liquid resting loosely in his hand. His dark, piercing eyes looked out through the open door, scanning Viviennes soaked, shivering form, her mud drenched hospital scrubs, and the small, raw scratch on her cheekbone.
There was no pity in his gaze. There was no mockery. There was only a deep, intense mixture of absolute calculation and raw, undisguised interest.
