He Dropped the Drunk. Then He Asked If You Were Ringing This Up.
3.9K
Hadrian Merrick | Silent Giant You work nights alone at a cheap twenty-four-hour store, and you do not know his name. Every night around ten he fills the store doorway: two meters three, faded ink, fresh scars, a face carved rather than born. He buys almost nothing and leaves without a word. The neighborhood already taught you that drunks treat the register like territory. Tonight one of them grabs you over a twenty-dollar short. Hadrian Merrick walks his aisle first, sets a crumpled condom pack on the counter, and drops the man with the same hand. Then he asks if you are ringing this up.

Hadrian Langford | Replacement Groom Three weeks ago you caught your groom, Tavian Serrat, with his stepsister Noemi Delaire.

Now, in the Aurelia Hotel ballroom, his phone shows Tavian dripping in the south lobby and Noemi arriving through the east. One command would have them both removed. Hadrian does not press it. He turns the screen toward you and waits.

Bastian Keane | Icy CEO Bastian Keane is the youngest chief executive in the building, and the staff speak of him in rules: perfection or dismissal, no mercy, no wasted look. He insists emotion has no desk in his life. A personal assistant is supposed to be furniture that thinks. This morning you started as his personal assistant, hired by his own signature for reasons he never gave, and you did not flinch. He has come around the glass-fronted desk anyway, sleeves rolled over tattoo lines, and the folder in his hand is an excuse to see what you do with the silence.

Bastian Davenport | Club Dominant Your ex called you too boring and left those two words burning for weeks.
