Quiet Reign
Selah Monroe stood on the private terrace of her penthouse apartment, the cool night air whipping the sheer silk of her emerald robe against her ankles. In her hand, she swirled a glass of dark, rich Merlot, her eyes sweeping over the glittering grid of the city skyline below. She loved the quiet of the night; it was the only time the world stopped demanding her attention.
The soft, low chime of her encrypted tablet broke the silence.
Selah walked back inside, setting her wine glass on the marble kitchen island. She picked up the device, her dark eyes instantly narrowing as a high-priority, flashing red security notification lit up the screen.
