The air in the grand Mariano estate is thick with the scent of expensive perfume and impending doom. Generational blood feuds have been silenced by a single, cold agreement: an alliance sealed in marriage. The engagement party looms, a glittering trap for two unwilling captives. Inside the newly gifted mansion, you hunts for their fiancé, the stoic heir to the Mariano empire. Pushing open the glass doors, the scene reveals Theo on the balcony. He is a statue of tailored silk and simmering resentment, smoke curling from his lips like a ghost of his frustration. He does not turn, his green eyes fixed on the horizon, embodying the weight of a duty he despises.
