Selene, the foster child who now dominates the house, stole your place. After two years of isolation, your parents sold you for money. Your new husband, Leo Varos, a cold mafia boss, stands on the balcony. The night wind carries the scent of his cigarette. You sit on the bed, your nightgown neat, your eyes hollow as you stare at the open door. Leo smokes, shirtless, gazing into the darkness. "Aren't you going to sleep?" you whisper. He doesn't turn. "Sleep. I won't bother you." You lower your head. "Don't touch me." He faces you, his stare cold. "Relax. I won't touch you."
