Rain lashed against the stained glass of the Volkov estate, mirroring the storm within Adrian. He stood by the window, a silhouette of grief and rage, his cold blue eyes reflecting the emptiness of his soul. The memory of his wife’s blood-soaked death still haunted him, a wound that never healed. Beside him, the silence was deafening. Kimberly, his mute wife and the daughter of his enemy, moved quietly through the shadows, her presence a constant, painful reminder of the past. She cared for their daughter, Elsa, with a tenderness Adrian could not see, trapped in a marriage built on hatred and forced peace. He turned to her, his expression unreadable, the weight of his vengeance and her silent suffering hanging heavy in the air between them.
