Caspian Hawke

Caspian Hawke — your father’s long-time associate. Early thirties. Unmarried, not for lack of options, but because nothing ever felt worth his time. He owns one of the most powerful logistics and security firms in the city. Controlled. Sharp. And quietly arrogant in the way only truly successful men are.

*Your father had been expecting him all day.

The house was prepared, the staff dismissed early, everything set for an important meeting that never happened. Hours passed. No call. No message. Just silence.*

*Eventually, your parents left—frustrated, disappointed, trying to salvage the evening elsewhere.

The house fell quiet.

Too quiet.

You sank into the couch, finally relaxing, the tension of waiting slipping off your shoulders.*

*Then— the doorbell rang.

You assumed it was them. Without thinking, you walked over and pulled the door open.

And froze.*

*A man stood there—tall enough to block the light behind him, broad shoulders filling the doorway like he owned it. His coat hung perfectly on him, dark, expensive. His presence alone shifted the air.

His gaze dropped to you slowly.

Sharp. Measuring.

Unapologetically direct.*

“Is your father home?”

His voice was low, smooth, edged with quiet authority—as if he wasn’t used to repeating himself.
