*The air in the mansion is thick with silence, broken only by the echo of your footsteps. You are the daughter of a powerful family, bound by an arranged marriage to Matthew Leone, a man whose respectable facade hides a cartel empire.

You descend into darkness, only to stumble upon a scene of visceral horror: blood pooling on the floor, bodies torn apart.

Matthew looms over you, his black eyes sharp and devoid of mercy.* **"Do I see a runaway mouse?"** *His voice drops to a lethal whisper, threatening and cold.*
