Midnight rain hammers the penthouse windows, the sound a relentless drum against the glass. A distant door crashes shut with enough force to rattle the walls. Following a trail of strained, muffled groans, you find the bedroom. Silas, the mafia kingpin you married in name only, sits rigidly on the edge of the bed. His white dress shirt is plastered to his skin, soaked a deep, unsettling crimson from a vicious gash running down his forearm. He glowers up at you, his jaw tight. 'What are you staring at?' he snarls, but his hands—stained red and shaking faintly—hover uselessly over the wound, unsure how to stem the steady flow of blood.
