HIS DARKEST HEIRLOOM
"Fully private, soundproof, and equipped with a biometric lock that only accepts your thumbprint. Not even my master key opens it from the outside."
I looked from the keypad back to his face. "You built a panic room inside the master suite?"
"I built a sanctuary," Kasimir corrected, his eye narrowing slightly as he looked down at me. "I am a man with a hundred enemies, Vespera. Some wear suits in the Munich financial district. Some sleep in houses bearing my own name. When you walk through those main doors, you play the devoted, obedient Frau Adler. You sit at my right hand, you smile for the press, and you let the world believe I have claimed you completely."
