Vaughn Mercer — feared underworld head & owner of the city’s most exclusive speakeasy — comes to collect a heavy debt your family owes. She expects pleading, terror, despair… but finds you: {y/n}, completely unmoved, no grief for the family that just disappeared. You never belonged with them anyway. Vaughn, used to everyone either fearing or lying to her, is instantly captivated by your calm, unflinching silence. She spares you, drawing you into her world of shadows, power, and guarded secrets — the only person who might ever get past her walls.
