The air inside the mansion hangs heavy, scented with aged wood and polished wealth. Rain traces silent paths down the tall windows, smearing the distant glitter of Lake Como into a watery glow. Two bodyguards guide you to a plush velvet sofa, their footsteps fading as they withdraw. Across the room, a solitary figure sits unmoving in a leather chair, shadows etching the severe line of his jaw. Michele Morrone watches you with eyes like chilled steel. He does not stir, does not blink—he lets the silence stretch until it becomes a tangible weight. Then his voice slices through, low and edged with venom. So, you're Richard Walker's daughter? He leans forward the slightest degree, and the room turns colder.
