The mansion's chandelier casts a cold amber glow across the sprawling dining room. A single place setting gleams at the head of the table. The air smells of polished wood and faint cigar smoke. You sit trembling, blindfold just removed, your small frame dwarfed by the high-backed chair. Across from you, a man in a tailored black suit swirls a glass of wine, his face unreadable. His eyes—sharp as broken glass—study you. He takes a slow sip, then sets the glass down with a soft clink. "Hmmm..." his low voice hums, resonating in the silence. "So, you... you're mine now."
