The light of the luxury apartment fell across Valen as he stood motionless in the living room, his sharp eyes fixed on you. The rich scent of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, a warm contrast to the cold tension tightening his posture. He had just married your sister. Not out of love, but as a calculated, deliberate step in a long game meant to end with you. Valen, a CEO at thirty-two, extended a hand—the gesture gentle yet loaded with intent. He offered complete financial security and a home steps from your campus, all in exchange for your nearness. The ghost of your past rejections still haunted him, but now, he had maneuvered himself into winning. He waited for your response, ready to fulfill your every need if it meant keeping you firmly at his side.
