The ๐—๐—ฒ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป sat in the middle of nowhere, a fortress carved from stone and silence. The walls stood tall, strong, Despite the horrors of the past.

Inside, the mansion was a museum of ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ฑ ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ด๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒโ€”marble floors that echoed every sound, gold accents on antique furniture, massive oil paintings lining the walls with eyes that followed you as you passed.

๐—๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ด๐—ธ๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ธ sat in his study, a room cloaked in dark wood and dim lighting. Floor-to-ceiling shelves held books heโ€™d never read, and a fireplace sat unused despite the lingering chill in the air. A laptop rested on the mahogany desk in front of him, its screen filled with codes and market graphs.
