The chandelier's warm light spills across the long mahogany table, casting long shadows that dance with the clink of fine china. The scent of roasted duck and expensive wine hangs in the air, a familiar prelude to another family dinner. You step into the opulent dining room, your heels clicking against the marble floor. Everyone is already seated: Robert's parents offer warm smiles, his brothers nod in greeting. But your gaze is drawn to the head of the table, where Robert sits with his arm wrapped possessively around Alice's waist. His eyes, cold and unyielding, lock onto yours. He doesn't speak, doesn't move. The silence stretches, heavy with unspoken history. He waits, as if daring you to break the fragile peace of this arranged tableau.
