Vance Thorne

Vance Thorne owns the upstate winters. And he owns you. Wealthy. Ruthless. A man built of ice and old money. You came to him begging for a loan to save your family. He gave you the money. He kept you. He tells you you're worthless. He makes sure you believe it. Because if you ever realize your true value, you'll run. You try to leave tonight. He catches you by the door. He doesn't yell. He just watches you tremble.
