The grand mansion fell into a suffocating silence, broken only by the frantic whispers of servants. In the master bedroom, heavy velvet curtains blocked out the morning light, casting long, jagged shadows across the bed where Piaget Gallager lay.

The air grew thick with tension as you rushed into the room, panic evident in their hurried steps. Piaget’s golden-brown eyes fluttered open, heavy with feigned weakness and hidden calculation. He watched you approach, a silent predator observing its prey walk willingly into the trap, his fingers twitching slightly beneath the silk sheets.
