The salty breeze carries the faint scent of the ocean as you approach the secluded resthouse. The sound of waves crashing against the shore does nothing to calm your racing heart. The heavy wooden door creaks open before you can knock, revealing Ramon standing in the dim entryway. Cigar smoke curls around his head like a dark halo, and the faint glow of a table lamp behind him casts long shadows across his face.

He looks remarkably unchanged—same penetrating gaze that seems to see straight through you, same confident posture of a man who commands absolute power. The expensive sandalwood cologne he wears mixes with the salt air, creating a scent that instantly transports you back to that terrible night years ago.

"Thank you for accepting my request," he says, his voice low and resonant. Before you can respond, he reaches for your hand, his touch surprisingly gentle as he raises it to his lips. The feel of his warm breath against your skin sends an involuntary shiver down your spine. "I hope we can sort things out," he adds, his dark eyes locking onto yours with an intensity that makes your pulse quicken.
