My Ex Fat-Shamed Me At A Gala So I Grabbed A Stranger Who Was Actually A Crime Boss
Part 2
Tyler’s large hand returned to my lower spine.
He gripped the emerald silk with a possessive firmness that anchored me to the stone floor.
“We are leaving,” he stated flatly.
It wasn’t a suggestion; it was a gravitational pull.
My breathing hitched as my frozen muscles finally snapped into action.
I stammered that I could just get a rideshare back to my apartment.
He turned his head slowly to look at me.
The streetlights caught the hard, unforgiving angles of his jaw.
“The men who just hit my trucks are looking for leverage,” he warned.
“You are currently wearing my scent, and you were seen in my arms by half of the city’s elite.”
I pleaded that I was a nobody.
I insisted they wouldn’t care about a random woman from Queens.
“They care about what is mine,” Tyler growled, his voice a low vibration.
“And tonight, you made yourself mine.”
He didn’t wait for me to argue.
He guided me swiftly off the balcony, bypassing the grand ballroom entirely.
We moved through the bustling industrial kitchens.
Stunned chefs immediately averted their eyes when they saw Tyler’s armed guard walking point.
We burst out through the loading dock doors into the freezing night.
An idling armored black Maybach waited in the dimly lit alleyway.
“Get in,” Tyler ordered, shielding my head as he practically shoved me inside.
The heavy vault-like doors slammed shut behind us.
I shuddered violently in the cavernous leather-scented interior.
I wrapped my arms around my wide waist, acutely aware of how exposed I was.
Tyler stripped off his heavy midnight blue tuxedo jacket.
He draped the thick wool over my bare shoulders.
It retained his intense body heat.
I was enveloped in the grounding scent of expensive cologne and dark danger.
He poured a measure of amber liquid from a hidden console.
I took the crystal glass with violently shaking hands.
“Are you going to kill me?”
I whispered.
The desperate question slipped out before I could bite it back.
He paused, his dark eyes fixing on my face.
For a fleeting second, the ruthless boss softened.
He gently wiped away a stray tear that had escaped down my cheek.
“I’m going to protect you,” he murmured softly.
I asked him why he would bother with an overweight, unremarkable stranger.
His gaze dropped to the plush swell of my thighs pressed together on the leather seat.
“You spent years letting a weak man make you feel small because he was terrified of how beautifully large you are,” he stated.
“You are exactly what I want, and nobody touches what I want.”
The Maybach sped toward a subterranean fortress.
My heart hammered a frantic rhythm against my ribs.
He looked at my curves, his eyes dark with a terrifying kind of possession, and told me exactly what my ex had really been doing at that gala — but was I actually safer in the hands of a mafia boss?
Part 3
The heavily armored Maybach glided silently through the freezing New York night, its massive engine vibrating beneath the floorboards.
Heather Brooks sat rigidly against the plush leather seat, clutching Tyler Romano’s midnight blue tuxedo jacket around her bare shoulders.
The thick wool retained his intense body heat, wrapping her in the grounding scent of expensive tobacco and masculine cedar.
Beside her, the head of the city’s most feared crime syndicate was perfectly still, his dark eyes fixed on the passing city lights.
She had just asked him if she was actually safer in the hands of a mafia boss.
Tyler shifted his massive frame, the leather groaning under his weight as he turned his full, terrifying attention back to her.
“Your former boyfriend is not the successful corporate lawyer you believe him to be,” Tyler stated, his voice a low, smooth baritone.
“Craig Jenkins is a front, a well-dressed money launderer for the Volkov syndicate.”
The words hung in the suffocating silence of the cabin.
Heather stared at him, her mind struggling to process the impossible information.
Craig, the man who had meticulously berated her for eating a piece of bread at dinner, was working for the Russian mob.
He had spent years obsessing over his pristine public image while secretly moving dirty money through his mediocre law firm.
“I was at the gala tonight to observe him and his handler,” Tyler continued, his gaze dropping to the curve of her waist.
“We knew the Volkovs were planning a move against my territory, and I needed to confirm their financial pipeline.”
Heather’s breath caught in her throat as the horrifying reality set in.
“I ruined your operation,” she whispered, her hands trembling as she clutched the lapels of his jacket.
“I interrupted you, and now those people know who I am.”
Tyler reached out, his large, calloused hand gently gripping her knee through the emerald silk of her gown.
“You provided the perfect cover,” he corrected smoothly, his thumb tracing a slow circle against her thigh.
“Nobody questions a man who is completely distracted by a stunning woman.”
The casual compliment sent a confusing, electric jolt of heat straight to her core.
“But his handler saw you with me,” Tyler warned, his expression hardening into a mask of pure, unadulterated ruthlessness.
“In their world, and in mine, leverage is everything.
If they find you, they will use you to force my hand, and then they will eliminate you.”
Heather swayed slightly as the adrenaline crashed, leaving behind a cold, biting chill.
Craig would not protect her; he would likely be the first one to hand her over to save his own skin.
“So, I am your prisoner?” she asked, her voice cracking as she looked up into his dark, dangerous eyes.
“You are my guest,” Tyler corrected, sliding closer until his solid chest brushed against her shoulder.
“My men will protect your life with their own, and in return, you will stay by my side until the Volkovs are entirely dealt with.”
She swallowed hard, the fiery trail of the Macallan whiskey still burning in her throat.
The Maybach did not stop at her small, fourth-floor walk-up in Queens.
Instead, the vehicle plunged into a subterranean, private garage beneath a towering ultra-luxury glass skyscraper in TriBeCa.
The fifty-story fortress of modern architecture and impenetrable security belonged entirely to the Romano family.
Stepping out of the car, Heather’s legs felt like heavy lead.
She kept Tyler’s jacket pulled tightly around her, a desperate shield against the surreal nightmare unfolding around her.
Flanked by Brian and two other silent, imposing guards, Tyler escorted her to a biometric-locked private elevator.
The ride up to the penthouse was completely silent.
Heather watched the digital numbers climb higher and higher, taking her further away from the only life she knew.
When the polished brass doors finally parted, she stepped into an expansive sanctuary of modern luxury.
The penthouse spanned the entire top floor, its floor-to-ceiling windows offering a panoramic view of the glittering Manhattan skyline.
Dark mahogany floors, imported marble countertops, and chaotic original artwork decorated the massive space.
“Sit,” Tyler instructed, gesturing to a massive, semi-circular velvet sofa that faced the city lights.
Heather sank into the plush material, the velvet practically swallowing her size eighteen frame.
She watched anxiously as Tyler walked over to a wet bar and poured himself a neat whiskey.
His broad back faced her, the fine fabric of his tailored shirt stretching tightly across his muscular shoulders.
“I need to call my sister,” Heather finally said, her voice sounding incredibly small in the cavernous room.
“If I don’t show up for brunch tomorrow, she will call the police.”
Tyler turned around slowly, the crystal glass catching the dim light of the room.
“Your sister lives in Chicago,” he replied evenly.
“She will receive a text from your phone stating you met someone at the gala and are spending the weekend in the Hamptons.”
Heather jumped up from the sofa, the emerald silk pooling around her ankles.
“You cannot just erase my life,” she cried, hot tears prickling in her eyes.
“I have a job at the gallery, I have a cat, you cannot just keep me here.”
Tyler crossed the room in three long, predatory strides.
He didn’t touch her, but his sheer proximity forced her to stop moving.
He towered over her, his dark eyes intense and entirely unyielding.
“I am not keeping you here to be cruel, Heather,” he said, his voice deadly serious.
“I am keeping you here because you are a dead woman if you walk out those front doors.”
The stark reality of his words hit her like a physical blow.
She sank back down onto the sofa, burying her face in her hands.
The rest of the night passed in a terrifying blur.
Tyler directed her to a massive guest suite that was larger than her entire apartment.
The bed was a sprawling king-size expanse of Egyptian cotton and down pillows.
She stood in the center of the room, still wearing the emerald gown, feeling entirely out of her depth.
A soft knock at the door startled her out of her exhausted daze.
Tyler entered, holding a folded stack of soft gray fabric.
“I had one of the maids find something comfortable for you to sleep in,” he said, setting the clothes on the edge of the bed.
“Try to get some rest.”
He turned to leave, but stopped in the doorway.
“Your cat, a rather hostile orange tabby, has been relocated to the downstairs staff quarters and is currently terrorizing my head of security.”
A startled, genuine laugh bubbled out of Heather’s throat.
“Thank you,” she whispered, the small act of kindness piercing through her thick wall of defensive tension.
Tyler nodded once, his expression unreadable, and closed the door.
Heather changed into the oversized gray sweatpants and soft t-shirt.
They were clearly men’s clothes, likely Tyler’s, and they swallowed her curves entirely.
She crawled into the massive bed, the scent of cedar and tobacco still clinging to her skin.
Despite the lingering threat of the Volkov syndicate, exhaustion finally claimed her.
She slept deeper and more soundly than she had in years.
Sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows woke her the next morning.
Heather blinked against the harsh glare, the events of the previous night rushing back with sickening clarity.
She pushed herself up against the plush headboard, her muscles aching from the lingering adrenaline.
She wandered out into the main living area, finding it completely empty.
The penthouse was eerily quiet, save for the low hum of the central heating.
She found her way to the massive chef’s kitchen, where a spread of fresh fruit, pastries, and hot coffee waited on the marble island.
A small handwritten note sat next to the coffee pot.
“Eat.”
“I will return at noon. — T.”
Heather stared at the food, her stomach giving a loud, demanding rumble.
For years, Craig had monitored every single calorie she consumed.
If she even looked at a pastry, he would launch into a lecture about self-discipline and her failing health.
She picked up a warm, flaky croissant, her hands shaking slightly.
She took a bite, the buttery richness melting on her tongue.
There was no condescending sigh, no cruel remark about how her dress wouldn’t fit.
She ate two pastries and a large bowl of fruit, enjoying every single bite.
When noon rolled around, the heavy front doors of the penthouse unsealed with a hydraulic hiss.
Tyler strode into the room, flanked by Brian and two men carrying several large, garment bags.
He was dressed in a dark, impeccably tailored suit, looking every bit the ruthless crime boss he was.
“I had my people clear out your apartment,” Tyler announced, shedding his suit jacket.
“Anything of sentimental value is in the study, and these are for you.”
The men hung the garment bags on a rolling rack and swiftly exited the room.
Heather approached the rack tentatively, unzipping the first bag.
Inside hung a beautiful, cashmere wrap dress in a deep burgundy.
She checked the tag, her breath catching when she saw it was exactly her size.
She unzipped the next bag, finding tailored slacks, silk blouses, and luxurious knit sweaters.
Every single piece was designed for a woman with curves, crafted from expensive fabrics.
“My old clothes…” she started, looking back at Tyler in confusion.
“Were entirely too large and designed to hide your figure,” Tyler interrupted smoothly.
He poured himself a glass of water, leaning against the marble counter.
“The man who made you feel you needed to hide is no longer a factor in your life.”
Heather traced the soft cashmere of the wrap dress.
“These must have cost a fortune,” she murmured, overwhelmed by the gesture.
“Money is irrelevant,” Tyler replied, his dark eyes tracking her movements.
“What matters is that you wear clothes that demand the respect you deserve.”
She retreated to her room to change, selecting the burgundy dress.
It hugged her waist perfectly, flowing over her wide hips and accentuating her full bust.
When she walked back out, Tyler was waiting in the living room.
His gaze swept over her, a slow, predatory heat flaring in the depths of his eyes.
He didn’t offer a polite, empty compliment.
He simply stared at her with a raw, unapologetic hunger that made her pulse race.
Over the next three weeks, the TriBeCa penthouse became a gilded, luxurious cage.
Heather spent her days reading in the massive library, playing with her rescued tabby cat, and watching the city below.
Tyler was often gone during the day, managing the escalating, violent conflict with the Volkov syndicate.
But every evening, without fail, he returned to the penthouse for dinner.
They sat at opposite ends of a long, polished mahogany dining table.
The meals were elaborate, multi-course affairs prepared by a private chef.
Tyler never commented on what she ate, nor did he ever suggest she should show restraint.
Instead, he would casually slide his own untouched desserts across the table to her, a silent, knowing offering.
“The Volkovs are bleeding territory in Brooklyn,” Tyler mentioned casually one evening, slicing into a perfectly cooked steak.
“They are becoming desperate, which makes them unpredictable.”
Heather set her fork down, the familiar spike of anxiety returning.
“Are we… are you in danger?” she asked, hating the slight rattle in her breath.
Tyler paused, his dark eyes locking onto hers across the candlelit table.
“I am always in danger, Heather,” he replied smoothly.
“But they will not breach this building.”
He stood up, walking around the long table until he was standing directly behind her chair.
His large, warm hands rested heavily on her bare shoulders, the heat searing through the thin silk of her blouse.
“You are entirely safe here,” he murmured, his thumb brushing against the sensitive skin of her neck.
“I promised to protect you, and my word is absolute.”
She leaned back into his touch instinctively, craving the heavy, grounding weight of his presence.
The terrifying mafia boss was the only person who had ever made her feel completely secure.
“I don’t even know how to thank you,” she whispered, closing her eyes.
“You have uprooted your entire life to keep a stranger safe.”
“You are not a stranger,” Tyler corrected, his voice dropping to a low, intimate gravel.
“And I do not protect you out of charity, Heather.”
“I protect what belongs to me.”
The possessive nature of his words sent a shiver down her spine.
It was a dangerous, intoxicating claim, one that terrified her just as much as it thrilled her.
The illusion of perfect safety shattered violently two nights later.
Heather was in the living room reading a novel when the heavy front doors burst open.
Brian practically dragged a battered, bleeding man into the pristine entryway.
Blood dripped onto the imported white marble, leaving stark, crimson stains.
Tyler emerged from his private study, his expression colder and more brutal than she had ever seen it.
He didn’t even flinch at the sight of the ruined man on his floor.
“Speak,” Tyler commanded, his voice devoid of all human empathy.
The bleeding man coughed, spitting a glob of blood onto the floor.
“It was Jenkins, boss,” the man wheezed, clutching his broken ribs.
“The lawyer.”
“He gave the Volkovs the security codes for the Red Hook warehouses.”
Heather dropped her book, the heavy hardcover hitting the floor with a loud, resounding thud.
Tyler’s head snapped toward her, his eyes briefly softening before hardening back into obsidian glass.
“Craig did that?” she gasped, her hands flying to her mouth in horror.
“He intentionally sold out your men?”
“He is trying to buy favor with the Russians,” Tyler explained coldly.
“He knows we are dismantling his laundering operation, and he is attempting to save his own pathetic life.”
Tyler turned back to Brian, a lethal, terrifying calm settling over his massive frame.
“Bring him to me,” Tyler ordered quietly.
“Do not kill him.”
“I want him breathing when he arrives.”
Brian nodded sharply, dragging the bleeding informant back out the door.
Heather stood frozen in the center of the living room, the brutal reality of Tyler’s world crashing down around her.
Tyler closed the distance between them, his hands gently gripping her trembling shoulders.
“Look at me,” he commanded softly, waiting until her wide, frightened eyes met his.
“I told you the first night we met that he was a weak, cowardly man.
Tomorrow, you will see exactly how insignificant he truly is.”
The following evening, the atmosphere in the penthouse was thick with suffocating tension.
Heather sat on the velvet sofa, wearing the burgundy wrap dress that made her feel invincible.
The hydraulic hiss of the front doors echoed through the silent room.
Brian walked in, his massive hand firmly gripping the back of Craig Jenkins’s expensive suit collar.
Craig was shoved violently to the marble floor.
He scrambled to his knees, his usually perfectly styled hair disheveled, his face pale with a desperate, pale sweat.
Tyler stood near the floor-to-ceiling windows, holding a glass of whiskey, a picture of relaxed, terrifying dominance.
“Mr. Jenkins,” Tyler greeted smoothly, taking a slow sip of his drink.
Craig looked up, his eyes darting frantically around the luxurious room before finally landing on the sofa.
His jaw dropped open in pure, unadulterated shock.
“Heather?” Craig gasped, his voice cracking in disbelief.
“What the hell are you doing here?”
Heather didn’t flinch, didn’t shrink, and didn’t apologize for her presence.
She simply stared back at the man who had tormented her for three long years.
“She is here because she is under my protection,” Tyler answered for her, setting his glass on the bar.
“While you, unfortunately, are entirely out of options.”
Craig scrambled to his feet, trying desperately to salvage his shattered pride.
“Listen, Romano, the warehouse codes were a mistake.
I was pressured by the Volkovs, they threatened my firm.”
“You sold the lives of four of my men to save your own miserable skin,” Tyler corrected, his voice dropping an octave.
“And you did it using the same cowardly deception you used to manipulate the woman sitting behind me.”
Craig sneered, his true, ugly nature breaking through the veneer of fear.
“You’re doing all this over her?” he mocked, gesturing wildly toward Heather.
“She’s a pathetic, overweight gallery assistant who can’t even stick to a diet.
If you want her, you can have her.”
The silence that followed was so profound, it was deafening.
Heather’s heart hammered against her ribs, but she refused to look away.
Tyler didn’t yell, and he didn’t draw a weapon.
He moved with terrifying, blinding speed.
Before Craig could even register the movement, Tyler’s massive hand wrapped around his throat.
Tyler lifted the lawyer entirely off the marble floor, cutting off his air supply instantly.
Craig choked, his expensive Italian leather shoes kicking frantically at the empty air.
His hands clawed uselessly at Tyler’s iron grip.
“You will never speak her name again,” Tyler whispered, his face inches from Craig’s turning purple visage.
“You will never look at her, and you will never think of her.”
Tyler stepped closer to the floor-to-ceiling glass, holding the suffocating man suspended over the sheer, fifty-story drop.
“You spent years trying to make her feel small because you are fundamentally hollow.”
“She is a queen, and you are nothing but a minor inconvenience I am about to permanently remove.”
Tyler casually tossed Craig back onto the marble floor like a piece of garbage.
Craig gasped violently for air, clutching his bruised throat, tears of pure terror streaming down his face.
He crawled backward away from Tyler, his back hitting the mahogany bar.
“Please,” Craig wheezed, his arrogance completely broken.
“Please, I’ll do anything.”
“I’ll give you the Volkovs’ offshore accounts.”
“I already have them,” Tyler replied coldly, pulling a heavy silver thumb drive from his pocket.
“My men raided your mediocre law firm an hour ago.”
Tyler tossed the drive onto the table, the metallic clatter sealing Craig’s absolute destruction.
“The FBI is currently receiving a detailed dossier of every single wire transfer you executed for the Russian mob.”
Craig’s eyes went wide with absolute horror.
“You’re giving me to the Feds?”
“I am giving you to a maximum-security federal penitentiary,” Tyler corrected.
“Where your former Russian employers will undoubtedly find you very quickly.”
Tyler nodded to Brian, who stepped forward and hauled the sobbing lawyer back to his feet.
“Get him out of my sight,” Tyler ordered in disgust.
As Brian dragged him toward the elevator, Craig looked back at Heather one last time.
There was no condescending smirk, no cruel judgment in his eyes.
There was only the pathetic, crushing realization that the woman he had discarded had become utterly untouchable.
The brass doors hissed shut, cutting off the sounds of Craig’s desperate pleading.
The penthouse fell silent once again.
Tyler stood by the window, his broad chest rising and falling slowly as he reigned in his violent temper.
Heather stood up from the velvet sofa.
Her legs were shaky, but her spirit felt lighter than it had in a decade.
She crossed the massive room, her bare feet silent on the polished wood floors.
She stopped just inches behind Tyler, the heat of his large body radiating against her.
She reached out, gently resting her hand on the tense, rigid muscle of his back.
Tyler let out a long, heavy breath, the dangerous apex predator slowly retreating.
He turned around, his dark eyes searching her face for any sign of fear or revulsion.
“Did I frighten you?” he asked softly, his voice a stark contrast to the violence he had just displayed.
“No,” Heather answered honestly, stepping perfectly into his personal space.
“You terrified him.”
“And he absolutely deserved it.”
Tyler’s expression softened entirely, the harsh lines of his face relaxing into something vulnerable.
He raised his hands, his long fingers gently cupping the soft, full curves of her jawline.
“I told you nobody would ever make you feel small again,” he murmured, his thumbs brushing against her cheekbones.
“And I meant it, Heather.”
“I have meant every single word since the moment you grabbed my arm.”
He leaned down, closing the distance between them.
His lips brushed against hers, a tentative, questioning touch that sent a shockwave of electricity straight down her spine.
Heather didn’t hesitate; she reached up, her hands tangling in the thick, dark hair at the nape of his neck.
She pressed into him, kissing him back with all the pent-up emotion and burning desire that had been building for weeks.
A low groan rumbled deep in Tyler’s chest.
His massive arms wrapped securely around her waist, pulling her flush against his solid, unyielding frame.
He didn’t hold her politely, and he didn’t try to minimize her size.
He held her with a desperate, overwhelming hunger, his hands roaming over the wide flare of her hips with absolute worship.
The kiss deepened, becoming bruised and desperate, entirely consuming the oxygen in the room.
He lifted her effortlessly, her soft thighs bracketing his narrow waist as he carried her toward the master suite.
He kicked the heavy oak door shut behind them, sealing them away from the violence and chaos of the outside world.
For the first time in her life, Heather didn’t feel the need to hide in the dark or apologize for the space she occupied.
Under Tyler’s reverent touch, every curve, every soft edge was treated like a masterpiece to be devoured.
He worshipped her body with a fierce, unapologetic devotion that shattered the last remaining pieces of her deep-seated insecurities.
The next morning, the city of New York woke up to a seismic shift in power.
The morning papers and news networks were plastered with the breaking scandal of Hayes and Covington.
Craig Jenkins had been arrested at dawn, dragged out of a seedy motel in handcuffs by federal agents.
The Volkov syndicate had been systematically decimated overnight, their warehouses raided and their leadership neutralized by Tyler’s ruthless efficiency.
Heather sat at the marble kitchen island, wrapped in Tyler’s oversized gray t-shirt, reading the headlines on a tablet.
She sipped her hot coffee, feeling a profound, absolute sense of peace.
The nightmare was over, and the man who had tormented her was locked away in a federal cell, facing decades of hard time.
She scrolled past a photograph of Craig looking disheveled and terrified, feeling absolutely nothing but mild pity.
Tyler walked into the kitchen, freshly showered, wearing a pair of dark slacks and a crisp white button-down shirt.
He moved with the relaxed grace of a man who had successfully conquered his enemies and secured his empire.
He stepped up behind her, pressing a soft kiss to the crown of her head.
“The threat is entirely eliminated,” he stated quietly, leaning his forearms against the cool marble counter.
“The Volkovs are no longer a concern, and Jenkins will never see the outside of a federal prison.”
Heather looked up at him, setting the tablet face down.
“So, I suppose that means I am no longer required to stay here for my own protection?” she asked, her heart giving a nervous flutter.
Tyler’s dark eyes locked onto hers, the teasing glint in his gaze replaced by a heavy, intense sincerity.
“You were never a prisoner, Heather.
But if you believe for a single second that I am ever letting you leave, you are entirely mistaken.”
Three months later, the Manhattan skyline glittered with the promise of early autumn.
Heather stood in the center of a prestigious Chelsea art gallery, adjusting the frame of a massive contemporary painting.
She was no longer an invisible assistant fetching coffee and hiding in the stockroom.
She was the gallery director, running the daily operations with a fierce, undeniable confidence.
She wore a stunning, tailored emerald green pantsuit that hugged her curves and commanded absolute attention.
She moved through the space with the grace of a woman who knew exactly what she was worth.
The gallery doors opened, and the familiar, intoxicating scent of cedar and tobacco washed over the room.
Tyler stepped inside, dressed in a sharp charcoal suit, casting an imposing shadow over the delicate artwork.
The wealthy patrons subconsciously parted for him, intimidated by the sheer power radiating from his massive frame.
He ignored the art entirely, his dark eyes locking exclusively on Heather.
He crossed the room, pulling her flush against his chest in front of the entire elite crowd.
He didn’t care who saw them, and he didn’t care what they whispered.
“You look magnificent,” he murmured, pressing a kiss to the curve of her jaw.
“The gala begins in an hour, and I fully intend to show you off.”
Heather smiled, resting her hands against the solid muscle of his chest.
“Are we expecting any corporate lawyers to cause trouble tonight?” she teased, her eyes sparkling with genuine amusement.
“If they do, they will find themselves testing the structural integrity of the balcony,” Tyler replied smoothly, a dark smirk playing on his lips.
He offered her his arm, and she took it securely.
They walked out of the gallery together, stepping into the waiting, armored Maybach.
Heather leaned her head against his shoulder as the car pulled away from the curb.
She looked out the tinted window at the city passing by, feeling entirely, wonderfully safe.
The weak, cruel men of her past were nothing but distant, insignificant memories.
She leaned back into the plush leather, her fingers securely entwined with Tyler’s, as the armored car carried them into the glittering Manhattan night.
