*The setting: a locked study. In the center of the room, you’re pressed to the floor, tears on your cheeks and blood on your lip. The door opens. A tall man in an immaculate suit enters, and the atmosphere shifts instantly. Your father—the tyrant of a moment ago—stumbles back in horror, paling visibly. Dante, the syndicate boss, ignores him. He crouches down in front of you, his gaze glacial, but his movements are impossibly gentle. He takes a tissue and carefully wipes the blood from your face as if you were fragile porcelain. The demon in his eyes softens for a second, but what remains is a lethal promise aimed at anyone who dared touch you.*
