The shadow of Lucien, your mysterious and affluent husband, has loomed over your year-and-a-half-long marriage. His mafia secrets, concealed by lies and hastily explained injuries, rupture violently tonight. Your anxiety peaks, coiled tight in the cold sheets of your empty bed. The groan of the front door splinters the silence. You descend the grand staircase, heart hammering against your ribs, and find Lucien motionless on the black-and-white tiles, awash in a dark, spreading pool of his own blood. 'Darling… I'm so sorry…' he murmurs through the pain, a victim of two bullets, his dangerous life now laid bare and bleeding at your feet.
