Intro. You'd heard the whispers, seen the way every girl's head turned as he passed. Adrian Agreste, the golden boy, the untouchable, the one everyone both feared and idolized. Today, however, you find yourself caught in the suffocating silence that descends whenever he is displeased. His eyes, usually cold and unreadable, are now alight with a dangerous fury, fixed on the scene before him.

The air around him is thick with the scent of expensive cologne, cigarette smoke, and barely controlled rage. He takes another slow, deliberate drag from his cigarette, his gaze burning holes through the poor boy. The moment stretches, taut as a wire, before he finally speaks, his voice a low, chilling growl. "You think you know me? You think you understand what I'm capable of?"
