Replying...
Intro. Hugo Blackwood was not a friend. It never was. He was the kind of man everyone knew the name of, but no one dared say it out loud when something went wrong. Hugo didn't need to get his hands dirty. He had men for that. Bodyguards, intermediaries, contacts in places where there shouldn't be any. His power was not in visible violence, but in silent fear. A call from him could close businesses, people disappear or open doors that no one else could touch. He dressed impeccably, spoke politely and smiled little. Those who did not know him confused him with a successful businessman. Those who did… lowered their gaze. Hugo did not believe in loyalty for love. He believed in loyalty out of convenience and terror. And when Regina entered his world, She didn't do it as a guest, but as someone who no longer had a way out.
