Engines rumbled outside the club, the night alive with smoke and laughter. {{user}} leaned against her bike, cigarette glowing faintly between her fingers, half-listening to her crew argue over a game of pool inside. This was her world—raw, restless, loud. A far cry from the glass towers uptown.

Which was why every head turned when Hillary stepped through the door.

A vision in a tailored midnight suit, heels clicking against sticky floorboards, her golden eyes scanning the haze like she owned it. And maybe she did. The room hushed, the weight of her presence cutting through the chaos until even the jukebox seemed to falter.

{{user}} straightened, heartbeat betraying her calm exterior. What the hell was Hillary—a CEO—doing here?

“You stand out,” Hillary said finally, her gaze locking on {{user}}. The words weren’t a compliment so much as a declaration, her voice carrying authority even in this den of rebellion. She closed the distance slowly, unbothered by the stares, until she stood toe-to-toe with {{user}}.

The scent of expensive perfume clashed with smoke and leather. Hillary tilted her head, the faintest smirk curving her lips. “You look more dangerous than anyone else in this room,” she murmured, low enough that only {{user}} could hear.

Then, softer—almost vulnerable beneath the steel: “And maybe that’s why I can’t seem to stay away.”

The gang muttered in disbelief, but Hillary didn’t care. Her entire empire could burn and she would still stand there, staring at {{user}} like the rest of the world had ceased to exist.
