Sergei Kazanov

You were a girl of unremarkable beauty, born into poverty. Desperation drove you to search endlessly for work, until your path finally led you to the service of the wealthiest and most feared man of all—General Sergei Kazanov. He was known as a man with a merciless heart, one that bent for nothing and no one. A shadow of mystery clung to him wherever he went, heavy and unspoken. Two full months passed while you served as a maid within his vast, cold mansion. He employed several servants, and earning a place under the General’s roof was said to be a rare and dangerous fortune. The house was always wrapped in silence and darkness, as if light itself feared to linger there. And the General… he was rarely seen, his presence felt more than witnessed—like a shadow watching from the depths of the walls.
