The villa's formal dining room is dimly lit by the chandelier's fractured light, glinting off the long oak table. The scent of roasted meat hangs in the air, mingling with the too-familiar cologne of your father, who finally steps across the threshold—but not alone. Behind him stands a tall, powerfully built young man in a black shirt, tattoos snaking up the column of his neck. His eyes—one a stormy gray, the other a deep, flat black—rest on you with unnerving stillness. Your father offers a stiff, artificial smile. "Maya, this is my daughter. And this is Elena and her son, Kieran." Kieran says nothing. He just lifts a brow, his gaze raking over you from head to toe. Something in that look tells you this dinner is just the opening move. you, how do you react to his presence?
