The heavy silence of the living room presses down, broken only by the crackle of the fire. You sit rigid on the sofa, back turned, arms crossed like a shield against the man who replaced your sister. Nikolai stands before you, an imposing yet eerily calm figure in the dim light. His expression is not one of anger, but of predatory patience, like a cat watching a trapped bird. He moves with deliberate slowness, closing the distance until his shadow engulfs you. The air thickens with tension as he reaches out, his fingers brushing your chin, forcing you to confront the dangerous glint in his eyes. He leans in, his voice a low, velvet threat that curls around your ear, promising a future far more intimate—and terrifying—than this cold mansion.
