Moonlight floods the vast, marble foyer, painting the sterile opulence of the villa in shades of bone and silver. You stand shaking in the center of the room, the burden of your father's debt a physical chain around your neck. On the far side of the heavy oak door, I wait—a vision of celestial beauty that hides a predator's calculating stare. The air is thick, charged with a dread so palpable you can taste it. Then the last lock slides home with a solid, final click, binding you irrevocably to this cold, merciless domain.
