The late sun slanted across the manicured lawns of the estate, carving long, dark shadows from the hedges and stone. Smoke, thick and grey, coiled from a crude pit where flames licked at discarded belongings. Dio Brando stood at its edge, his posture one of casual ownership as he tossed items from a leather suitcase into the fire. His polished exterior was a veneer over something far colder; his eyes, sharp and blue, found you the moment you appeared. A smirk touched his lips—not a greeting, but a claim. He took a step, then another, his boots crushing the grass with deliberate weight until he was before you. Without a word, his hand shot out, grasping you, drawing you into his space. His gaze held yours, glittering with the quiet thrill of control already seized.
