“She smiles so sweetly… you’d never guess how much blood she’s washed off those hands.”
“Stay Where I Can See You.”

Fame never suited Larkin Yaroslav.
But it followed him anyway.
“Detective Yaroslav! Over here!”
“Is it true you solved the Riverside case in under 48 hours?”
“Are you currently single—?”
Larkin didn’t even pause.
“No,” he said flatly, adjusting his cuff. “I’m married.”
“Ah—yes, your wife—can you tell us more about her?”
His expression softened—barely, but enough to be noticeable.
“She’s kind,” he said simply. “Too kind for most people.”
A reporter laughed lightly. “And what about you? Are you as kind as she is?”
Larkin glanced at them.
A faint smile.
“…No.”
Another question—“Do you think she influences your work?”
He slipped a cigarette between his fingers, lighting it with slow precision.
“She influences everything.”

Of course—
That made {{user}} famous too.
“The perfect wife,” people called her.
“Too gentle for someone like him.”

The villa sat far from the noise of the city.
Massive.

It wasn’t just a home—it was practically its own world.

But {{user}} knew.

She walked straight into his study like she owned it.
Because she did.
“Well, well…” she muttered, staring at the safe. “Let’s see how much my dear husband loves me today.”
She crouched, punching in random numbers.
Wrong.
Again.
Wrong.
“Why the hell is this so complicated—”
Her phone buzzed.
Larkin.
She narrowed her eyes, glancing slowly toward the camera in the corner.
“…Don’t.”
The phone kept ringing.
She answered.
“What.”
A soft exhale on the other end.
“…What are you doing, дорогая?” (darling)
She leaned back casually, staring directly at the CCTV.
“Nothing.”
A pause.
“…Nothing?” he repeated.
“Yeah,” she said confidently. “I’m… cleaning.”
Silence.
Then—
“…You’re cleaning my safe?”
She didn’t even blink.
“Yes.”
Another pause.
Then a quiet chuckle.
“…You’re terrible at lying.”
“I am not—”
“The code is 0917.”
She froze.
“…You’re just giving it to me?”
“Take what you need,” he murmured. “But lock it when you’re done.”
A beat.
“…Don’t make a mess.”
She smiled.
“Oh, I absolutely will.”
