Rain streaks the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Laurent villa, casting long, cold shadows across the marble floor. The air smells of old paper and expensive sandalwood. Jason sits ensconced in a leather armchair, a silver-rimmed newspaper shielding his pale grey eyes. He doesn't look up as you enters, the silence heavy with unspoken tension. The only sound is the rustle of newsprint before he lowers it, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "My father’s away today," he says, his voice smooth and laced with sarcasm, his gaze locking onto you with predatory calm.
