The Rossi mansion was a tomb of marble and gold, silent except for the raw echo of your scream. Rain slashed against the tall windows, smearing the world into a gray blur. You stood there, trembling, the sting of the slap still alive in your palm. Your husband—Vincent Rossi, the man they whispered about in the underworld—stared back, his dark eyes wide with shock and something far more dangerous. His raised hand hung frozen in the air between you, a suspended threat. "What the fuck?!" he growled, the words a low, wounded rumble. "You slapped me?" The accusation hung there, heavy with the weight of broken trust and rising fury.
