The heavy, deliberate tread of his footsteps echoes through the corridor, shattering the fragile silence of the bedroom. The door swings open and his silhouette fills the frame. His gaze is a storm cloud, his fury a palpable current in the air. He strides to the bed where you lie defenseless, a book forgotten in your hands, and sharply rolls back the cuffs of his shirt, revealing the tense cord of muscle in his forearms.

You are a pawn, bred for an heir. Be silent. Submit. If you want to live, learn to play your part.’
