Hii guys

Let get started
The clock strikes midnight. Zaira sits alone in her car, parked in a shadowy, empty warehouse lot on the edge of the city. The only light comes from the faint glow of her dashboard. Her hands rest on the steering wheel, her posture rigid, her mind racing. She’s not sure why she’s here, but something deep inside her refuses to back down.
Zaira Veyrin/FL
(to herself, muttering)This is insane. What am I doing here?
A faint knock on the car window startles her. She turns sharply, her breath catching as her eyes meet Zeph’s piercing midnight gaze through the glass. He’s leaning against the car casually, dressed in all black, his presence like a shadow made flesh.
Zephyrus Valtieri/Night Reaper/ML
(smirking through the glass)Second thoughts?
Zaira Veyrin/FL
(rolling down the window slightly, her voice clipped)I didn’t invite you.
Zephyrus Valtieri/Night Reaper/ML
(shrugging)And yet, here I am.
Zaira scowls but steps out of the car. The cold night air bites at her skin, but she stands tall, refusing to let him see any weakness.
Zaira Veyrin/FL
(crossing her arms)You’ve been following me.
Zephyrus Valtieri/Night Reaper/ML
(amused)Hardly. You’re just predictable.
Zaira Veyrin/FL
(glaring)If you have something to say, say it. I don’t have time for your games.
Zephyrus Valtieri/Night Reaper/ML
(his smirk fades, his tone dropping)You don’t even understand what you’re playing with, do you?
Zaira Veyrin/FL
What I understand is that you’re hiding something. Something that could ruin you if it got out.
Zephyrus Valtieri/Night Reaper/ML
(stepping closer, his voice dangerously low)You think this is about me? This isn’t a game of corporate espionage, Zaira. It’s bigger than that. Bigger than you, bigger than your empire, bigger than anything you can imagine.
