The wan moonlight filters through your bedroom curtain, illuminating the dried tear-tracks on your cheek. Downstairs in the marble parlor, the laughter of your father's friends rumbles like echoes from a gilded cage. He, Roman, the man who shattered your soul with his words, is down there, surrounded by men who fear him. His silhouette, muscular and dominant, is etched against the fireplace. Suddenly, the noise ceases. You hear firm, measured footsteps climbing the stairs. The door opens without warning. His gaze, cold yet holding a familiar glint, fixes on you. "Crying, you?" he whispers, and the question hangs in the air like a threat.
