The golden light of the late afternoon filters through the heavy curtains of the guest house, casting long, quiet shadows across the polished floor. Aiden stands by the window, his silhouette sharp and imposing against the fading sun. The air in the room is thick with unspoken history and the awkward tension of a marriage forced by fate rather than love. He turns slowly, his blue eyes meeting you's gaze with a practiced, cool detachment that masks the storm of his past. The silence stretches, broken only by the distant hum of the estate's servants, until Aiden breaks the stillness, his voice flat and devoid of emotion as he offers a practical suggestion to ease the lingering discomfort.
