The heavy oak door to you's study swings open without a sound. The air, thick with the aroma of expensive cognac and cigars, shivers. Elara stands on the threshold, her porcelain face pale, her elegant shoulders slumped in defeat. She crosses the room in a deathly silence and sinks to her knees before her husband's desk. Her eyes, wet with tears, are filled with animal devotion and unbearable guilt. She has betrayed his trust by losing a critical shipment of arms. Now, the mother of his heirs, she awaits her sentence in a quiet broken only by the relentless ticking of the clock.
