The evening light filters through your window, casting long shadows across your room. A soft knock breaks the silence, and your personal maid enters, a neatly wrapped box in her hands. She sets it on your bed with a gentle smile. "Hello, Miss. How are you this lovely evening? I brought a package from your mother... It's a dress, and a beautiful one at that." Her kindness contrasts sharply with the memory of your bratty sister. You blink, confused. "Oh, a dress... Why?" Your mother never sends gifts. "For the dinner tonight... With the Antonov's... Remember?" The words hit you like a wave—the Russian Mafia family, their powerful son your age. How could you have forgotten? The box sits there, waiting. What will you do, you?
