章 33: A New Routine

Felix sat in the plush confines of the penthouse suite, a space that screamed power and success but suffocated him with its sheer opulence. The skyline of New York glittered through the floor-to-ceiling windows, a view that most could only dream of. Yet, to Felix, it felt more like a stage where every move was scrutinized. Victoria's personal touch was evident in every detail of the penthouse—sleek, modern furniture with sharp edges, bold tones of black and red, and a noticeable lack of anything resembling warmth.

The sound of the door unlocking was the only warning he got before Victoria walked in, her presence as commanding as ever. She was dressed in a tailored black coat with crimson accents, her Blade Dominion aura crackling faintly around her in an almost imperceptible shimmer. Two bodyguards trailed behind her, their expressions blank but their movements sharp, like coiled springs ready to strike.
