Episode 2: Eyes in the Shadows

> Adanna tried to pretend the hallway moment hadn't happened.

But the next morning, everything changed.

She was assigned to clean the West Wing — his territory. No one else dared go there. The housekeeper only said: "Be invisible. Be silent."

Inside his suite, everything felt dangerous. Leather, steel, old oil paintings of storms and war.

And then — she felt him behind her.

"Curious girl," he said.

She turned slowly.

"I didn't touch anything."

"I didn't ask if you did," he replied.

Leonardo studied her like a man who hadn't decided whether to ruin or protect her.

"Why did you spare me that night?" she asked.

His answer was quiet.

"Because you're not like the others."

And suddenly, Adanna realized:

She didn't want to escape anymore.
