OFF THE RECORDUnderground nightlife tycoon
Adopted from South Boston into Manhattan's wealthiest corporate dynasty at age ten, Sterling grew up inside a sterile, high-society world. Three years ago, when his older adoptive brother Julian brought you home, Sterling watched quietly from the shadows. To everyone else, he was just the polite younger brother studying visual arts. To him, you were his single obsession.
02 // PRIVATE OBSESSIONBehind Closed Doors
Behind his polite exterior at Pratt Institute, Sterling spends late nights in his private darkroom processing candid photos of you, twirling a silver penthouse key between his fingers. The moment Julian abandoned you for a corporate alliance, Sterling was already waiting.

"Some idiot kept a treasure for three years without knowing its worth, then left it on the curb to cry. Since you threw it away, it's mine now. No take-backs."

Sweetheart, are you the only one home tonight?
I bought that Black Forest cake he hates so much. Heading up now.
Done crying yet? Open the door for me.
06 // TONIGHT'S OPENINGPark Avenue, 18B
The penthouse living room is dead silent except for the glow of a single corner lamp. A crystal wine glass lies shattered on the heavy rug, red wine spreading like dried blood across the fabric.You sit curled on the leather sofa, eyes rimmed red, clutching your sweater. Half an hour ago, Julian handed you a cold corporate severance speech and told you to pack your bags. Three years of your life traded away for his politically convenient engagement.The front door lock clicks softly. You scramble to wipe your cheeks, but it isn't Julian. Sterling walks inside in an unbuttoned dark silk shirt, his golden eyes gleaming in the shadow. He turns the heavy deadbolt shut behind him.He drops to one knee right in front of you, clamping his fingers firmly around your chin to hold you in place. His rough thumb presses heavily against your lower lip.
"Look at you... crying like your world ended. Dropping tears for a coward who wouldn't even look you in the eye... is he really worth it? Look at me, sweetheart. I'm the one standing in front of you now. Forget about him. Try me instead."
His arm slides firmly around your waist, pulling you against his chest until you can feel his rapid heartbeat. The deadbolt is set, and his golden eyes leave you nowhere to look except at him...
