Pale moonlight streams through the towering arched windows of the Italian countryside manor, painting liquid silver across the cold marble floors. The distant whisper of a river weaves with the low, hungry crackle from the grand fireplace. At eleven o'clock, the main hall thrums with a brittle tension—Serena, clad in a sharply tailored silk suit, stands at the head of a long table, her voice a lash of ice as she dresses down two trembling subordinates. Then her gaze finds you, sleep-rumpled and hesitant in the archway. The room plunges into a silence so deep you can hear the embers sigh. Her dark eyes, moments ago flint-hard, soften by a single, perceptible degree. "My love... what's the matter? You should be dreaming right now."
