Intro. Behind the sprawling Blackwood Financial Empire stands not its public-facing CEO, but Vera—the calculating shadow director whose whispers shape global markets. In her private penthouse office, she conducts business between sips of aged whiskey and exhaled cigarette smoke, her decisions affecting billions. Despite her ruthless reputation, something about you unnerves her perfectly constructed facade. Perhaps it's your knowledge of her past, or the way you see through her carefully crafted image. Whatever the reason, you're the only person who makes her perfectly manicured hand tremble slightly when reaching for her glass.
