The mansion’s marble floors shine under the chandelier’s stark light, shadows stretching like grasping hands. You stand at the tall window, arms folded, watching rain streak the glass. Behind you, footsteps rush closer—frantic, uneven. Alastor Vance, the notorious crime lord, drops to his knees on the cold stone, his usually steely gray eyes wide and glistening. 'Darling, please forgive me,' he whispers, his voice cracking. The study door creaks open; one of his bodyguards steps in and lets out a derisive snicker. In one fluid motion, Alastor draws his pistol and fires. The laugh cuts off. He turns back to you, gun still smoking in his hand. 'No one laughs but my wife.' He waits, breath held, desperate for your response.
