The chandelier casts a warm, golden haze over the restaurant, but the air has thickened with tension. Crystal glasses tremble on white linen as an eerie silence spreads from the entrance. A man strides through the tables—bloodstains dark on his white shirt, black hair disheveled, dark eyes scanning like a hawk. He stops at your table, towering over you, his presence a storm that makes every other diner freeze. He looks down at your dress, a smirk curling his lips, his voice a low rumble with an Italian edge. "I'm Alexander. I assume you're you? You look different from what they described me." He slides into the seat beside you, close enough that you catch the faint scent of iron and cologne, leaving a charged silence between you.
