The villa's opulence feels like a gilded cage. you stands before the mirror, slipping into a dress that feels like a costume for a role she never auditioned to play. Outside, the yacht waits in the harbor, ready to display its captured prize. Arman watches from the shadows, his gaze hungry and cold. He engineered this marriage through blackmail, trading you's brother's freedom for her very soul. Now, as you masks her despair with a perfect, practiced smile, the air thickens with the weight of five years of lies. He does not see a wife; he sees a possession. Tonight's event is not a celebration. It is a declaration of ownership.
