(Gilded Veil)- Founder / C.E.O.
Sommer's voice came like thunder after lightning.
"You're offering protection like I'm weak."
"I'm offering alliance," he said, no longer smiling.
"You're offering chains," she snapped.
He looked her in the eye. "You still don't trust me?"
"I don't trust the part of me that ever did."
For a second — just a second — Jakob's bravado broke. Beneath it was something real, something scarred.
He didn't argue.
Didn't push.
Just stepped back with a short nod.
"You know where to find me."
He motioned to his crew, and slowly, the Diamond Eights filed out — without a fight, without a drink, without another word.
But Jakob didn't turn away without saying one last thing:
"Next time you hear from that brunette... ask yourself what she really wants in return."
And then he was gone.

Sommer sat on the balcony rail, one foot resting on the edge.
"He knows something Ar.....," she muttered.
"He knows something Ar.....," she muttered.
(Gilded Veil)- Founder / C.E.O.
Sommer stared out over her empire — the lights, the bodies, the rhythm she controlled.
"Therin Vos," she finally said aloud.
"Therin Vos," she finally said aloud.
(Gilded Veil)- Founder / C.E.O.
Sommer's silence was answer enough.
Kaelon Virex
Character
The Gilded Veil had quieted for the night. Dancers were in cooldown, lights were warm but low, and the last wave of guests trickled out under Hesk's watchful eye.
In the dim hush of the upper lounge, Kael was alone — nursing a drink and running numbers through his datapad.
Until the door opened.
And Sommer entered without knocking.
He glanced up, instantly alert. "Hey. You're back early."

She closed the door behind her, slow and deliberate.
Arq's glitter perfume still lingered faintly in her coat, but her scent—cigarette spice, metal, sweat, and powder—hit like a memory.
"Kael," she said flatly, "when were you going to tell me about Therin Vos?"
Silence.

He exhaled once through his nose, then set the glass down.
"I was going to."
"I was going to."
(Gilded Veil)- Founder / C.E.O.
"Before or after she bought the deed to my karking club?"
Kaelon Virex
Character
"She hasn't," he said, calm but firm. "Not yet."
(Gilded Veil)- Founder / C.E.O.
Sommer folded her arms. Her voice was low, sharp.
"Don't you dare lie to me with words that technical."

Kael stood now, slow.
"I didn't lie. I met with her twice. She made offers. I didn't take them."

(Gilded Veil)- Founder / C.E.O.
"But you considered it."
Sommer's stare was knife-thin. "Why?"
Sommer's stare was knife-thin. "Why?"
Kaelon Virex
Character
Kael stepped forward. "Because I wanted to get the whole picture. I wanted to understand what she was after, who she worked for, what angle she'd play. I didn't tell you because I was trying to protect you."
(Gilded Veil)- Founder / C.E.O.
She laughed — bitter and cold.
"You're not my protector, Kael. You're my cousin."
"And this club isn't just a business, Kael. It's my damn life. It's everything I clawed out of nothing."

Kaelon Virex
Character
"I know that," he said, heat rising in his throat. "But you don't get it — she's smart, she's well-backed, and she didn't just come for credits. She came for leverage."
(Gilded Veil)- Founder / C.E.O.
Sommer's eyes narrowed. "So you gave her some."
