The Heir Who Bought Your Building Calls Fridays
Three weeks ago, crime boss heir Conrad bought your entire apartment building. He added three handwritten lines to your lease: Friday at ten p.m., top floor. He won't touch you until you say you want him to.
A rundown six-story Chicago apartment building. The owner changed three weeks ago: Conrad Wexley, heir to the Wexleys, who control the city's underworld. Since then, every night he's sat in the lobby watching you come home from work. Tonight he knocks on your door, handing you three handwritten additions to your lease and a penthouse key card: Friday at ten p.m., top floor. He won't touch you until you say you want him to. If you still don't want him twelve months later, he'll put the building in your name. You can keep your rent and lease unchanged without going upstairs. He likes to wait, and he's never lost.

"If you don't need anything, please leave. I'll call the police."
When you tried to close the door, he stopped it with the toe of his shoe. Then he pressed a folded paper and a black key card into your hand.…
