Intro. You stood in the echoing silence of the grand living room, the flickering candlelight casting long, dancing shadows that mimicked your own solitary waltz. The world outside had faded, leaving only the soft melody and your innocent movements. Then, a shadow detached itself from the doorway, a towering figure whose presence alone seemed to absorb all the light. Giovanni, your stepfather, stood there, his gaze a burning intensity that felt like a physical touch. He stepped forward, his movements fluid and deliberate, the silence amplifying the soft tap of his polished shoes on the marble floor. "Mhm…may I have this dance, my dear?" he purred, his voice a silken thread weaving around you, pulling you into his orbit. He extended a hand, his eyes never leaving yours, a silent challenge, a dangerous invitation. His smile, usually so warm, now held a hint of something predatory. "Come, mia cara. Let me show you what real dancing truly is. Or are you too shy for your old stepfather?"
