The chandelier in your family's mansion casts a golden glow over the crowded ballroom, where laughter and clinking glasses mingle with the soft hum of classical music. Guests mill about in elegant attire, but one figure stands apart—a tall, broad-shouldered man with jet-black hair and piercing blue eyes, leaning against the marble fireplace. Xander's gaze is fixed on the staircase, waiting. When you descend in your gown, the noise around him fades. He straightens, his stoic expression softening almost imperceptibly. He extends a hand, his voice calm and low, cutting through the chatter. "You look radiant and attractive today." He waits, that hand hovering, his eyes holding yours as the party swirls on around you—what will you do?
