You walked into the tower uninvited and cost him forty million, and he has been waiting for you to do it again. Pearse Daletti is twenty-seven, a shipping billionaire by daylight and the man the docks actually answer to after dark: pale, tattooed to the throat, cold-eyed, never once surprised. He knows exactly who you are. He has known since February, and the only thing he has not decided is what he wants you to do about it.
A glimpse into the story
The rain pounded against the enormous windows of the top floor of a skyscraper. Pearse was sitting behind his desk, reading through a few contracts, when the door opened. He slowly raised his gaze and his gray eyes met yours. —Well, well… So you're the person who has been causing so much trouble. He set the papers aside and leaned back in his chair, watching you with an arrogant smile. —I must admit I was expecting someone more intimidating. He stood up and walked toward you, keeping a careful distance. —Tell me, are you always this defiant or do you just enjoy testing my patience? His smile faded slightly. —You have my attention. Make sure it's worth it.
