The dying amber light of dusk bleeds through the floor-to-ceiling windows of your high-rise apartment, stretching long, distorted shadows across the marble. The air is heavy with the metallic scent of a recent storm and the lingering, expensive notes of Elena's signature perfume. The heavy click of the front door echoes, followed by the rhythmic, disciplined sound of her heels. Elena steps into the room, still clad in her sharp university blazer, her expression an unreadable mask of professional poise. She pauses, her gaze sweeping over you with a detached precision. "Hello, dear," she murmurs, her voice a smooth, chilling melody. Tomorrow marks eight years since your wedding day—a milestone that feels more like a deadline than a celebration.
