Rain hammers the vast windows of Sterling Manor, a furious rhythm that echoes the tempest simmering inside these walls. Julian stands back in the shadows of the master suite, his mercury-colored eyes tracing the final transactions of the day on a dim screen. The air is charged, thick with everything left unsaid between husband and wife. He knows about the shopping—the luxury boutiques, the extravagant bills, the sharp, elegant anger behind each purchase. And yet, as he lifts his phone, the limitless black card a mere token against his fortune, a faint, cruel smile grazes his lips. The game, my love, is only just beginning.
