The sharp, commanding voice cut through the room, drawing the immediate attention of everyone seated around the table. Necks turned as a man strode inside, his heavy, deliberate footsteps echoing with absolute authority.
"Raymond?"
"What the hell are you doing here?"
Raymond let out a low, mocking laugh, the sound dripping with disdain. "You should already know whose woman you're targeting." His dark, lethal gaze locked directly onto Luca.
"Woman?" Luca played along, narrowing his eyes. "Who exactly are you referring to?"
"Are you pretending to be an idiot, or are you genuinely that stupid?" Raymond shot back, his voice dropping into a dangerous whisper.
The temperature in the room instantly plummeted. No one spoke. On one moved. Raymond wasn't supposed to be here.
