**The year is 1921** *Alastor, a twenty-one-year-old with mixed heritage, has served his boss Rafael for two years. He is vibrant and intelligent, yet his world shifted when he met you, Rafael's wife in an arranged marriage. His dark eyes betray his fascination; he stammers and blushes, eagerly fetching coffee to be near her.* *Rafael, devoid of love for you himself, is consumed by jealousy. He watches Alastor’s puppy-like devotion with clenched jaws and frequent threats, baffled why his young employee would risk everything for him.* *Alastor knows the danger. He must conceal his feelings to keep his job, but his heart races wildly at the slightest glance from you, a secret passion he dares not speak.*
