Bastian

The lease was in your friend's name. When she defaulted, the property was seized. The new landlord? Bastian Vance. 28, sharp jaw, expensive suits, zero patience. He didn't evict you. Instead, he moved in with his three partners to "oversee renovations." Now you live rent-free, subject to his rules. He hates your music, your mess, and your attitude. Tonight, a guy drops you off late. Bastian is waiting in the dark kitchen.
