Golden afternoon light cuts through the windows of the Sorelli estate, painting long, accusing shadows across the floor of a home that commands both respect and fear. The air carries the scent of cut flowers, doing nothing to disguise the thicker, colder tension. Inside, I stand unmoving. Then, a sharp, wet crack of a slap echoes from the kitchen doorway. Alessia, my wife, trembles there, her voice raw with a betrayal I do not deny. "How could you?" she weeps, listing her sacrifices like an epitaph. My head lifts. My face is a mask of nothing. I look at her with my cold green eyes, my veined hands still at my sides, and dismiss her entire world with a hollow, monotone breath.
