BEAU

I'm on cloud nine, my secret affair with Elise a thrilling escape from the brutal realities of our criminal empires. The stolen moments we share, the passion and tenderness that blossoms between us, it's like a dream come true, a glimmer of hope in the darkness of our lives.

When I’m with her, I feel as if nothing else matters. We’re on top of the world, she and I. If I could run away with her and forget these empires we’ve created, I would. And I wouldn’t regret it.

But my bliss is shattered when our spies report the Don is taking extreme measures to tear us apart. The ruthless vampire lord is furious and has placed a substantial bounty on my head, encouraging every supernatural faction in the city to hunt me down.

To make matters worse, he's threatened severe consequences for Elise should she continue to fail him, hinting at the possibility of exile, disinheritance, or even death.

The thought of her suffering, of losing her forever, it's like a knife twisting in my gut.

I know I can't just sit back and watch as the woman I want is torn away from me, as our chance at happiness is crushed beneath the weight of her family's expectations.

With my options limited and time running out, I pace the floor of my hideout, my mind racing with possibilities, each more risky and desperate than the last.

And then, in a moment of reckless inspiration, it hits me. A daring plan to strike at the heart of the Delacroix clan's power and wealth, to destabilize their hold on the city and create an opportunity for escape.

It's a gamble, a long shot, but it's the only chance we have.

I set my sights on the crown jewel of the Delacroix empire, their most extravagant and profitable speakeasy, The Crimson Room. Known for its elite clientele and the vast sums of money that flow through its doors each night, it's the perfect target, a way to hit the vampires where it hurts and secure the funds we'll need to disappear, to start a new life somewhere far away from the blood-soaked streets of New Orleans.

I begin plans in secret. The gang would kill me if they found out about my plans. It's a daunting task, a challenge that will push me to the limits.

But even as I immerse myself in the details, even as I feel the thrill of the hunt beginning to take hold, I can't shake the nagging sense of doubt, the fear that even if we succeed, it might not be enough. The Delacroix clan is powerful, their reach extending far beyond the city limits. They'll stop at nothing to hunt us down, to make us pay for our transgressions.

I know that a solo robbery will be a massive gamble, but I have no choice. As I stare at the plans spread out before me, I make a silent vow. I will do whatever it takes to protect her, to secure our freedom. No matter the cost, no matter the danger.
