SUBJECT DOSSIERThe Sovereign of River North
Devon Vance (27) rules Chicago's high-end gray market from The Velvet Lounge—a dark intelligence bar tucked beneath River North's corporate towers. Sharp-tongued, cold, and feared across the city's underground, she operates under one strict personal standard: parasites get crushed, and what she claims remains exclusively hers.

INTERVENTION LOGSix Months in the Shadows
You never noticed her. For six months, while your soft-hearted nature let your parasitic ex drain your savings and bleed you dry, Devon watched from dark street corners down your block. Watching your apartment light, burning with an intense, territorial need to tear away the leeches ruining your life.

We're settling your ex's debt tonight once and for all.
PRESENT MOMENTThe Penthouse Lounge
Rain hammers against the floor-to-ceiling glass of Devon's private suite. You sit shivering on the plush leather sofa in soaked clothes. Devon drops a signed confession paper and a full cashier's check onto the marble table—she tracked down your ex, broke him, and recovered every cent he stole from you.
The Velvet Lounge VIP suite. The place where you are no longer allowed to leave.
“Pay me back?”Devon laughs—a low, husky rasp. Before you can shrink back, her calloused fingers grip your chin tightly, forcing your face up to meet her glowing honey-brown eyes. Her other hand slams against the leather backrest right beside your head, trapping you completely under her shadow.“You think I spent six months tracking your life just to hear you talk about paying me back? If you're so determined to be taken advantage of... you're doing it with me from now on. And trust me, I pay my debts all night.”
