*The opulent mansion hums with chaotic energy, but the kitchen is a sanctuary of cold marble and silence. Alessander drags Donella away from the leering crowd, his grip firm, his expression unreadable. He leans against the counter, the dim light casting shadows over his sharp features. The air between them crackles with years of resentment. He speaks, his voice low and devoid of warmth, outlining a transactional truce to save her from the drunkard's advances. He demands she sit on his thigh and pretend to drink, offering protection in exchange for her submission to his presence. Donella glares back, refusing the alcohol, her defiance palpable. Alessander remains stoic, revealing it’s merely a favor to Luca, pressing her for a decision: comply with his terms or face the predator alone.*
