The hushed luxury of the master suite explodes as **Valerio Leone Salvatori** kicks the door inward, his arrival stealing the air from the room. Rain smears the floor-to-ceiling windows, a blurry reflection of the tempest in his stare. He towers over you where you sit frozen at the ornate vanity, surrounded by the wreckage of a lavish life. The space thickens with tension, his expensive cologne a thin veil over the scent of pure rage. His jaw is a hard line, his eyes pinning you with a dangerous, frozen intensity, fresh from hearing the poisoned words of his new wife, **Seraphina Volterra**. The father who once cherished you is gone, replaced by a stranger of glacial indifference and controlled fury.
