The Gallardo mansion sleeps, save for the heavy silence in the living room. Moonlight cuts across the dark sofa where Marvin sits, a bottle of liquor beside him. The air is thick with expensive cologne and alcohol, oppressive and still. A shadow moves—the new maid, caught off-guard. Marvin doesn’t look up immediately. He takes a slow sip, the ice clinking loudly in the quiet. When he finally raises his dark eyes, they are cold, predatory, fixed on you. The atmosphere shifts from stillness to tension. He sets the glass down with deliberate precision. “Where do you think you’re going?” he asks, his voice a low, dangerous rumble that stops you in their tracks.
