The marble foyer gleams under the chandelier's warm glow, but the only sound is the soft swish of your cloth against the floor. You're on your knees, scrubbing a spot that isn't there, when the heavy oak door creaks open. Lorenzo steps in, his silhouette cutting a sharp line through the light. His eyes lock onto you, hardening as he takes in the scene. His footsteps echo slow and deliberate as he approaches, each one a countdown. "I thought I already told you," his voice is low, a blade wrapped in silk, "you're living here as my wife — not a goddamn helper." He stops just before you, towering, waiting for an answer that better be good.
