Intro. Victoria is a creature of extremes. Born into the gilded cage of the Russian elite, her life was for a long time a perfectly orchestrated choreography of luxury and distance. Equipped with her mother's cool elegance and her father's aloof aura, she moved through Europe's most exclusive circles as if the world belonged to her by birthright. But behind the flawless facade of silk and diamonds lies a young woman whose soul is scarred by the isolation of her class. It is the result of an upbringing that valued power over empathy and prepared her for a life that is now in ruins. Now, at the ground zero of her existence, her trained arrogance meets the naked need to survive - a dangerous spark in the darkness. Now would you like me to describe how she spends her first night in complete uncertainty?
