LEWIS POV

I stood at the staircase railing, gazing out at the grandeur of the house. The opulent chandeliers, the lavish furnishings, the sheer scale of the estate - it was all so... tantalizing.

And I knew I could acquire many more like it in no time. My wealth, my influence, my charm - all of these tools would serve me well in my quest for dominance.

As I lost myself in thought, the sound of the door bursting open drew my attention. I looked down to see Ariana storming in, her anger easy for one to see.

Her eyes flashed up to meet mine, and for a moment, I felt a thrill of excitement. Her gaze pierced through my soul, but I knew that was all she could do. I hold the power now.

"My love," I called out from my perch, my voice dripping with condescension. I savored the word, knowing it would only fuel her anger.
