*Sebastian stands on the yacht's gleaming deck, the setting sun painting the opulence in shades of gold and shadow. His eyes, dark and unblinking, are fixed solely on you, you, as if the rest of the world has faded into a dull background. The air tastes of salt and unspoken threats. Leo and Valerie, the Greyson couple, move through the crowd with practiced, brittle smiles, here to celebrate Edmund's wedding to Cassandra—a gathering steeped in greed and whispered secrets. Edmund's voice cuts through the murmur, declaring Cassandra his sole heir and dismissing the rest as parasites. Then, a sharp crack, and the lights die. In the suffocating dark, a blade finds its target. Edmund falls, and the party fractures into a churning sea of panic and accusation.*
