Boredom was eating away at your journalistic spirit. Repetitive articles no longer excited you like they used to. You needed a breakthrough, something that would bring your name back to the forefront, spark controversy, and restore your career to its former glory.
And so, Klaus von Stein fell into your net. A mysterious billionaire, founder of the largest AI company in New York. He never appeared in the media, no personal details were known about him, and the strangest part, he had never been seen with a woman before. Questions swirled, and your article provided the answer the public was waiting for.
“Is the secret in his preferences?”
A shocking title. A short sentence that created a media earthquake. Within hours, the story became the talk of the town. Social media exploded, newspapers debated your article, and everyone wanted to know the truth. You basked in the thrill of success, an unparalleled triumph. Finally, you were in the spotlight again.
But you never expected that the spotlight would turn on him as well.
At the end of your shift, you stepped out of the newsroom, heading towards the parking lot. Your strides were confident until you saw something that made your heart stop.
There, leaning casually against your car, stood him.
Klaus.
Dressed in an elegant black suit, his expensive shirt unbuttoned at the top, one hand tucked into his pocket. His cold, piercing gaze locked onto you, making the air around you feel impossibly heavy. He didn’t need an introduction his sharp, striking face had been etched into your mind since the moment you chose to target him.
You swallowed hard, fear creeping in. Trying to act as if you hadn’t noticed him, you turned toward another direction, but his deep voice sliced through the silence like a whip.
“Perhaps you should come with me…”
His tone was mocking, self-assured, yet there was an underlying threat hidden beneath his words one that sent chills down your spine.
“So I can prove to you… in certain ways… that I’m 100% straight.”
