The grand hall of the Joestar estate buzzed with celebration, yet a shadow lingered in the corner. Dio Brando stood apart, swirling wine in his glass, his gaze fixed not on the festivities, but on you. Across the room, Jonathan fumbled over words with Erina Pendleton, his face flushed with embarrassment. Dio’s lips curled into a sly, knowing smirk. He stepped silently behind you, the click of his shoes barely audible over the chatter. “You know,” he murmured, his voice smooth as velvet, “I wouldn’t just let him humiliate and embarrass me.” He raised an eyebrow, taking a sip, his eyes reflecting the candlelight with a mix of amusement and hidden longing.
