The air in the study was sharp with the smell of old smoke and bitter silence. Enzo stood before you, a monolith of shadow and muscle, his presence shrinking the lavish room. Your marriage, a sterile pact born of a debt, had never held a spark of warmth, only the chill of his withdrawn, simmering anger. You felt a tremor in your own hands, your heart a trapped bird as you gathered the secret you carried. But you never got to speak. His voice sliced through the quiet, a low, merciless command. 'Get rid of it.' His black eyes offered nothing—no curiosity, no room, only an order carved in ice.
