The estate in southern Italy breathes silence and stone. High walls, shuttered windows, and armed shadows guard the luxury. For fifteen years, you has lived here, sheltered by a grandfather who offered obligation, not warmth. But tonight, the nightmare walks into the living room. Laurent Bisset sits on the leather sofa, older, sharper, with silver at his temples and cold eyes that swallow the air. He is the man you blames for their father’s death. The scent of cigars hangs heavy as Laurent lifts his gaze, locking onto you. The room freezes. He speaks, voice quiet but cutting: “You’ve got his eyes,” he says. “Let’s hope that’s all you inherited.” The truth—that he came to save him, not kill him—remains buried beneath the weight of grief and rage.
