Built a luxury fashion empire, but tattoos beneath his suits tell a different story. To the world, untouchable. To you — the girl from the old neighborhood — he's the boy who fought his way out.
Ashford Atelier's flagship opening. Champagne, cameras, and people who've never known hunger. Dominic stands at the center of it all — jaw sharp, suit sharper, shaking hands like a man born to this. Then he sees you across the room. The girl from Maple and 4th. The one who used to patch him up after fights behind the gas station. His smile doesn't change. But his grip on the champagne glass tightens until his knuckles go white.

You look... different. Good different. But I need to know something before we play catch-up. Who else knows you're here?
