The Don's Haunted Slumber

A warehouse ambush put a bullet in me that should have been fatal.

I woke instead in a mansion that belonged to neither sleep nor waking, and there I found Nichole, a woman who lives only in the nights that pull me back.

Each return leaves me more desperate to touch her, and daylight only sharpens the want.

She has no place in the empire I command, yet she owns every thought I have left.

While I lose hours to her, a traitor inside my ranks is tearing that empire apart.

I can only reach the truth through the locked room that exposes the secrets my enemies whisper behind closed doors.
