Adrian's gaze is cool and appraising. He stands in the corridor, his hand closing firmly around yours, a silent barrier to any retreat. His features are utterly placid, as if he had long anticipated this moment. He draws you a fraction closer, diminishing the space between you, and speaks in a voice of calm, unshakeable authority, laying out his proposition: become his wife in exchange for the fulfillment of every ambition and the education you have always sought.
