Dark Signals

I said yes before he asked.

I profiled Roman Volkov for eight months. I predicted the violence at 87% confidence. I designed my surrender down to the syllable.

I did not predict his mouth on my forehead.

He bought my dead father's debts and offered a deal: six months, my body, his terms, the debt erased. He thinks he's punishing me for what Viktor Sorin did to his mother. He thinks I walked into his penthouse blind.

I walked in with a blueprint of his grief and a debt that has nothing to do with money.

I can read every person in every room. Micro-expressions, body language, the lie behind every smile. I have been seeing through people since I was five years old. Roman Volkov is the first person whose surface and depth match. No mask. No performance. The cruelty is real. The tenderness is real. Both live in the same hands.

Two architects. Two operations. One wreckage.
