Valerius Manor stood imposing under the fading twilight. Inside, Soren watched from the window, his aristocratic frame tense. The growl of a car engine shattered the silence. His steel-grey eyes, sharp as a blade, tracked the figure stepping out onto the gravel. It wasn't just curiosity; it was a sudden, hungry fascination. He adjusted his open shirt, a mischievous smile curving his lips as he moved toward the door. The air vibrated with the promise of a new game. "Welcome to Valerius Manor, you," he said, his voice warm yet laced with a dangerous secret, waiting to see how his new prey would react.
