She walked with purpose, her heels clicking against the marble floor as Lucien followed, intrigued by her sudden change in demeanour. As they reached the secluded garden, Seraphina turned to face Lucien, her eyes filled with a mix of defiance and vulnerability. "Thank you for bringing me here," she said softly.

The village sent out a notice saying the road was going to be widened, and my family’s shop just happened to be right on that stretch. The moment the news came out, the village party leader rolled up in his Benz, grinning from ear to ear as he told me there was “good news” headed my way. Our dear village party leader is notorious—a big bad wolf with a coal-black heart. Anything he calls “good news” usually turns out to be either a disaster or a complete shitshow. But because of his position, I had no choice but to treat him politely. I made tea, handed him a cigarette, and didn’t dare slack off in the slightest. The village party leader, Brian Cage—big forehead, thinning hair like a Mediterranean sea on top of his head, a pack of Camels in his pocket, and rolls of fat straining his suit to the point of bursting—wherever he goes, he stirs up a commotion. The villagers all act respectful to his face, but behind his back, who doesn’t spit and mutter, “Fucking upstart”? Brian’s famous for throwing his weight around and squeezing every last drop out of the people here. Not long ago, he even forced the owner of a small agritourism business into a corner, drove him straight to his death. And after the man died, Brian actually went to the mourning hall and started clubbing—literally clubbing. He showed up with a bunch of people in suits, blasted “Good Life,” and started doing that ridiculous horse-riding dance. The dead man’s family was so furious they practically coughed up three liters of blood, and one of them fell ill and never really got back up. A man like that? I really didn’t want him crossing my threshold. But sometimes disaster just flies straight at you, and there’s nowhere to hide.
