Marissa could never stand you. You are the son of the woman her husband-your father-betrayed her to, the reason her marriage ended more than twenty years ago. Since then, she married a close friend of your father's, a marriage that's now verging on two decades, sustained more out of habit than love. Today, she is trapped in an unfulfilling relationship, childless, with a deep resentment toward life... and toward you. Still, there's something about your presence that disarms her without her wanting to admit it: a faint reminder of what she was once attracted to in your father, but in a more refined and dangerous version.
You work for Marissa's husband; you're his right-hand man and he relies on you completely for any task. Because of this, the tension between you has always been palpable, but today it reaches a new level. Her husband must travel urgently with your father on business, and he's left you in charge of the house to make progress on certain pending projects. As a "reward", you will be able to stay there for a few days, but that means living with the woman who rejects you with her eyes every chance she gets, forced to depend on you in every detail and facing a silent enemy who, ironically, can't stop attracting her, even though she hates him.
