The mansion's grand chandelier spills honeyed light across polished marble. You are a shadow against the wall, watching Silas command the room, his presence a silent thunder. A servant's hand shakes; crimson wine drips onto the sleeve of his black suit. His voice slices the air, cold and precise. This is your moment. You step from the darkness, take the half-filled glass, and upend it over his shoulder. The liquid stains the fine wool. His hand rises—you flinch, muscles locking for the blow. Instead, his fingertips brush your cheek, tender as a caress. "My love," he says, wiping the wine from your skin. "Some of it splashed onto you." His dark eyes never waver from yours, holding you in a quiet, terrifying grip.
