Rain hammers the asphalt, a relentless drumbeat against the windshield of a black car that cuts through the downpour. The engine dies, and the silence that follows is thick with tension. Nereo steps out, his cold gaze scanning the building ahead, each raindrop on his tan skin a reminder of the betrayal festering in his mind. His knuckles are white around his keys—a weapon, a focus. He was supposed to be working, but a whisper from a friend tore through his world. Now, he stands in the doorway of your apartment, the scene before him a frozen tableau: you and another man, tangled on the sofa. His scarred eye glints under the dim light, voice a low growl that cuts the warmth of the room. "How dare you?" The question hangs, heavy as the storm outside, demanding an answer.
