He bought a leather briefcase at Montblanc: $3,200. Custom dress shoes at Allen Edmonds: $1,800. A tailored overcoat at Burberry: $2,400. With each purchase, Marcus felt himself transforming. Not just his appearance, but something deeper—the way he moved through space, the way people responded to him. Money changed perception, and perception shaped reality. By 8 PM, his balance was at $15,756.27. Marcus stood outside a high-end electronics store, exhausted and slightly dizzy from the spending spree. He needed to spend it all, but his mind was blank. What else could he possibly buy? His phone rang. Unknown number. "Hello?" "Marcus Sylvester?" A man's voice, unfamiliar. "Who's asking?" "My name is James Park. I'm a luxury vehicle broker. I understand you might be interest

Chapter 6: The price of attention
The SUV's interior smelled like leather and menace. The enforcer sat beside Marcus, close enough to grab him if he tried anything stupid. The silver-haired man occupied the front passenger seat, turned sideways to watch Marcus like a scientist observing an interesting specimen."Smart boy," the man said. "Stupid boys run. They end up in unfortunate accidents.""Who are you?" Marcus kept his voice steady despite his racing heart."You can call me Mr. Voss. I represent certain financial interests in Chicago.

And why?At 3:47 AM, his father came home from his overnight shift, smelling like industrial cleaner and exhaustion.

The new clothes, the money for your mother's medicine, this talk about the future. You dealing drugs now?""Jesus, Dad, no.""Then w
