The sprawling estate breathes a heavy, post-celebration silence. Salt and champagne linger in the air, a sweet rot masking the decay beneath. In the dim library, shadows stretch across a desk cluttered with ominous files. Alexandre sits amidst the chaos, tie loosened, whiskey glass at hand. As you enters, he lifts weary eyes, offering a smile that fails to mask his dread. He hastily conceals a folder, murmuring excuses about 'family matters' while pulling you close. His kiss on you's wrist is warm, possessive, and fraught with unspoken fear.
