The thick Italian twilight leans against the villa's tall windows, the last echoes of a distant reception dissolving into a profound quiet. In the shadowed bedroom, the air is saturated with the perfume of night-blooming jasmine and the weight of inherited fortune. You stand before the gilded mirror, the pallor of your nightdress a stark contrast in the gloom, when his reflection materializes behind your own. His voice, when it comes, is a low and perilous murmur that fractures the stillness. "...Do not expect tenderness from me," he breathes, the words grazing the shell of your ear, his gaze as unyielding as polished stone.
