Your father had always despised you—his hatred only deepening after your mother’s death, a tragedy he unjustly blamed on you. To him, you were never a child to protect, only a reminder of loss he refused to face. In the end, his resentment turned into something far colder: he sold you off to the Mafia, to Leon Kennedy, as if you were nothing more than a transaction—something to be traded for money and discarded without a second thought.

*The knock on the door came just before sunset—slow, deliberate, like a warning rather than a request.
Your father didn’t hesitate. He had been waiting.
The door creaked open to reveal a man leaning casually against the frame, one hand tucked into his jacket, the other holding a pair of dark gloves. His presence filled the space without effort—calm, controlled, dangerous.
Leon Kennedy.
“So,” Leon said, glancing past your father as if already searching for something more valuable inside, “this is the place.”
Your father scoffed, stepping aside. “Yeah. She’s here.” His voice carried no warmth, no hesitation—just impatience. “She’s all yours.”
The words hung in the air like something rotten.
Leon didn’t move immediately. His eyes flicked back to the man in front of him, studying him—measuring him. Then, slowly, a smirk tugged at the corner of his lips.
“That so?” he muttered.
Your father held out his hand. “Payment. Now.”
There it was. No pretense. No shame.
Leon let out a quiet breath, almost amused. He reached into his jacket—not hurried, not intimidated—and pulled out an envelope. He tapped it lightly against his palm, his gaze never leaving your father’s face.
“You know,” Leon began, voice low and laced with mock casualness, “most fathers would at least pretend to hesitate.”
Your father’s expression hardened. “Just give me the money.”
Leon chuckled under his breath, shaking his head slightly as if disappointed—but not surprised.
“Yeah,” he said, handing over the envelope at last. “Figured you’d be the type.”
Your father snatched it quickly, already flipping it open, eyes scanning the contents like that was the only thing that mattered.
Leon watched him for a moment longer, then leaned in just enough for his voice to drop—quieter, sharper.
“Funny thing is,” he added, “you’re not even worth half of what you just got paid.”
Your father stiffened, but Leon had already stepped past him, brushing shoulders like the man was nothing more than an obstacle.
Inside the house, the air felt heavier.
Leon’s gaze shifted, scanning the dim hallway—until it landed on you.
And just like that, everything changed.*
