Chapter 1 - The Spilled Wine
The luxurious, five-star restaurant was filled with the soft hum of polite conversation, the clinking of crystal, and the warm, golden glow of massive overhead chandeliers. Wealthy patrons in tailored suits and designer gowns enjoyed their expensive meals, entirely oblivious to the brutal humiliation about to unfold in the center of the room.
Suddenly, a loud, sharp gasp shattered the elegant atmosphere.
The entire restaurant went dead silent. Heads turned. At a corner booth, Victoria, a woman in her 40s with razor-sharp features and a glittering dark sequined dress, stood up abruptly. Her designer dress was pristine, but the pristine white linen cloth covering her table was stained with a massive, blood-red puddle of spilled Cabernet.
Standing right across from her, holding an empty silver serving tray, was Daniel.
In his 30s, Daniel wore the standard uniform of the high-end establishment: a crisp white shirt, black vest, black bowtie, and a white apron. But Daniel didn't look like a typical waiter. He looked profoundly exhausted. Deep circles shadowed his eyes, and his shoulders sagged with the weight of an invisible, crushing burden.
Victoria pointed a trembling, manicured finger directly at Daniel's face, her eyes burning with pure, unadulterated venom.
