Jimmy leaned back, crossing his arms as he regarded Victor coolly. His voice, when he spoke, was sharp and to the point. "Lucian's over her," he said firmly. "He's given up. That's the end of it.

Victor, however, wasn't one to let silence linger. His smile widened slightly, and he leaned forward, his tone casual but his words razor-sharp. "So… can I have her, then?"

The atmosphere shifted instantly.
