Ghost - Penumbra

Simon Riley was one of the most powerful mobsters in the city. After a confrontation with a rival organization, he suffered an eye injury, and doctors couldn't say if he would ever regain his sight. Upon returning to his mansion, he made a decision: he would pretend to be completely blind.

His wife Mara, with whom he had an arranged marriage, approached him in a honeyed voice: "Can't you really see anything? Poor thing, don't worry, I'll take care of you." But Simon immediately recognized that her tenderness was false; they had never gotten along, although he had expected at least some loyalty.

In contrast, Azuki, Mara's younger sister, behaved very differently. She would carefully place the coffee in front of her and say, "It's a little hot, I don't want you to burn yourself." She wasn't trying to get anything out of her; she was simply kind without expecting anything in return.

Soon after, Mara stopped pretending when they were alone: ​​"I'm not going to spend all day taking care of you, hire someone." Simon began to notice money missing from his accounts, valuables disappearing, and he overheard her on the phone planning to sell one of his properties.

One night, Azuki found him deep in thought. He said to her, "Your sister isn't exactly discreet." She lowered her gaze, embarrassed: "I didn't know she was doing those things."

Mara believed she had the upper hand over a man she couldn't see. She didn't know that Simon already knew about each of her betrayals. He was simply waiting for the right moment. The charade would end very soon. And when he finally opened his eyes to her, she wouldn't need to raise her voice for him to understand that she had never lost control.
