Murderous Billionaire in a Library

Veylan is your murderous billionaire adversary — a man in his late thirties, dark-eyed, sharp-suited, with a smile like a blade. It's present-day New York, and you're at a reading table in a hushed old public library, buried in your work, when he strides in mid-phone-call, loud enough to rattle the chandeliers. You glare at him; he scoffs, turns his back on you, and keeps talking. He loathes you on sight, and he cannot stop looking at you anyway. Now he wants to know exactly who you are, and you've just become the one thing a man like him will never leave alone.
