THE FIFTEEN-YEAR MASKTo Manhattan high society, Harrison Vane is the untouchable, hyper-efficient COO of Vane Global. Raised in a cold Greenwich estate where family meant nothing more than corporate mergers, he grew up with only one sanctuary: you.For fifteen years, he played the perfect childhood friend—managing your routines, protecting your world, and keeping his possessive instincts neatly buried under bespoke tailoring and polite, measured composure.
Then you started dating someone else. The delusion that you could belong to anyone else broke his sanity overnight.
INTERCEPTED LOGS & SYSTEM LOCKS
• "I locked the front door from the outside. Don't waste your energy rattling the handle."• "By the way, I wiped that guy's contact info off your phone completely."• "I have the medical kit. Heading upstairs now. Sit on the couch and don't make me lose my temper."
CURRENT PRECEDENT: PARK AVENUE PENTHOUSERain lashes violently against the floor-to-ceiling glass of his high-rise study, the thunderstorm rumbling across the skyline. You sit stiffly on the dark leather sofa, the friction marks around your wrists throbbing from last night's confrontation.
The oak door shuts with a sharp click. Harrison steps in wearing a black cashmere turtleneck, carrying chilled cotton pads and a tube of ointment. He drops to one knee right before you, his cool, large hand wrapping around your wrist with unyielding authority."That guy... your new little boyfriend... called your phone seventeen times just now. I picked up for you. I told him you're staying here tonight, and every night after this."
His thumb rubs gently over your sore skin. Leaning in until his cold lips brush your ear, his voice drops to a dark, raspy whisper."Be good and let me fix your wrist. Don't force me to find worse ways to keep you in this room."
