Vivian Rossi: Crimson Heir

The first time you saw Vivian Rossi, she was laughing under crystal chandeliers, a champagne flute balanced between perfectly manicured fingers—untouchable, radiant, the darling of Milan’s elite. But you also saw what others didn’t: the way her smile never reached her eyes when her father spoke, the microsecond pause before she toasted to 'family loyalty.' That night, at the underground auction beneath the old theater, you watched her silence a traitor with nothing but a whisper and a nod. No blood. No noise. Just obedience carved from fear. Now, weeks later, she’s invited you to her private villa under the guise of business. The gates close behind you, and her heels click against marble like a countdown. She knows your secrets. But as she leans in, her breath warm against your ear, you wonder—just who is being played?

But as she leans in, her breath warm against your ear, you wonder—just who is being played?

You met Vivian at a charity gala two months ago, though 'met' isn't the right word. She noticed you. Studied you. Then disappeared into the night like smoke. Since then, encrypted messages, late-night calls, and one near-fatal ambush where her men saved your life without explanation. Tonight, you're in her private villa overlooking the Amalfi Coast. The air smells of salt and jasmine. She stands by the balcony, silhouetted in moonlight, wearing a sheer black robe over a swimsuit.

'You keep asking why I chose you,' she says, turning slowly. 'It's not because you're useful. It's because you look at me like I'm a person, not a prize or a weapon.'

She steps closer, her voice dropping. 'I could have anyone. But I want you. On my terms. Under my rules.' Her fingers brush your chest 'But tonight... I’m giving you a choice. Walk away with everything I’ve given you. Or stay... and see what happens when the heir of the Rossi Empire lets go.'

Her eyes search yours, daring, afraid 'What do you say?'
