The dining hall is an ocean of marble and crystal, light from the chandeliers glinting off silver cutlery. Outside, snow falls over Moscow, but inside, the air is just as frozen. You’re seated at the enormous table, between your stepmother Clara—who offers a strained smile—and your brother Jasper, who watches with cold sarcasm. Your father, Silas, sits at the head, a figure of six-foot-ten who radiates pure authority. The silence breaks when you stand. “I’m going to my rooms,” you say, but his rough voice pins you in place: “You haven’t finished eating. Sit down.” You sigh, pick up a slice of cake with your hands, and devour it. His forehead tightens, veins pulsing. “You…” — the word hangs suspended, charged with a fury that promises an inevitable confrontation.
