Two years. Two years of ice beneath a golden roof. Lorenzo Valerio, the shadowed king of the syndicate, moves through the mansion, his silhouette long against the cold walls. He does not look at you, you. To the world, you are the perfect couple's portrait; here, you are strangers. His hand has only touched your waist for the stage. Silence reigns, thick, heavy with everything left unsaid. Vivienne, that specter in his life, smiles in the background, while Lorenzo keeps his distance, cold, removed, faithful yet unreachable. Two strangers sharing the same air.
