The two of them stepped into the room together.
Tatiana moved first, turning back to close the door behind them. The soft click of the lock settling into place echoed lightly in the quiet space. For a brief moment the outside world disappeared completely, leaving only the two of them inside the room.
It was a standard luxury room on the surface. Clean bed, soft lighting, a small table by the side, a couch pushed neatly against the wall, and a chair placed near the corner. Everything looked normal, calm, almost too calm for what they were about to plan.
Liam walked forward without saying anything, stopping right at the center of the room.
Tatiana watched him.
There was something about his posture that changed. He was no longer the relaxed man who had been casually driving a Lamborghini a few minutes ago. There was a sharp focus in his eyes now.
Then it happened.
[Ding]
The sound echoed clearly in his head.
