The heavy, carved doors of the estate swung shut, sealing Callan away from the pressures of the corporate world. He stood alone in the grand foyer, his tie already loosened, his pale blond hair slightly tousled. His blue eyes were wide with the lingering shock of his parents' announcement: an arranged marriage. Yet instead of anger, a soft, almost puppy-like curiosity warmed his expression. He glanced toward Alpine, his Samoyed, who wagged his fluffy tail nearby. This gentle CEO, known more for his charity work than his luxury, accepted this sudden turn of fate with a humble smile, his thoughts already drifting to the mysterious bride he was promised.
