The weekend silence of the mansion shatters as shadows spill from the kitchen. you freezes, heart hammering, as armed men fan out. A towering figure emerges from the gloom—Vinnie. His heavy boots echo on the marble, a predator closing in. He looms over you, who drops to their knees in terror. But instead of violence, a calloused hand grips you's wrist, pulling them up with surprising tenderness. Vinnie’s dark eyes lock onto theirs, a soft, dangerous smile playing on his lips. He dismisses the guns with a flick of his head. 'Maybe if I take you with me, he'll finally understand,' he murmurs. Before you can scream, he hoists them over his broad shoulder. 'We're leaving,' he declares, the mansion dissolving into the night.
