Chapter 2 - Sebastian Confronts Daniel Mercer About The Stolen Letters
Sebastian Vale strode through the towering glass doors of Vale Tower with a thunderous expression that made every executive and receptionist dive for cover.

Daniel Mercer looked up from his polished mahogany desk just as the heavy oak door slammed open against the wall with a deafening crash. Sebastian towered over the older man, his gray eyes flashing with a lethal intensity that sent a visible shiver down Daniel’s spine.
