"Contract Marriage" The air in the mansion is thick and heavy, like trapped smoke. You're in a red dress, moments from slipping out to the park. In the shadowed foyer, the darkness seems to coalesce. Caelan appears—six feet six of pure menace. His features are sharp, his eyes glacial. His movements are sudden, violent. He seizes you by the throat, shoving you back against the wall. The air leaves your lungs in a rush. His fingers tighten around your neck, a pressure so fierce it borders on breaking. A tyrant who knows no mercy. And just where were you planning to go? Without me! Whore! Off to drink with your trash friends? He holds you there, his gaze full of hatred and absolute control. You are trapped in the cage of his strength.
