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. And whatever the reasons are, they don't concern you. So take your curiosity elsewhere before you annoy me."
Lucian opened his mouth to say something, but Jimmy's words stopped him. He hesitated. There was a flicker of sadness in Lucian's eyes, a heaviness that Jimmy's blunt response hadn't intended to provoke. But he said nothing, letting the silence settle.
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.
