The Celestine mansion loomed, a monument to power and secrecy. You had rushed into this marriage, blinded by status, yet now suspicion gnawed at you. Cassian, the stern younger heir, and his brother’s wife, Aurelia, shared glances that spoke volumes. Driven by curiosity, you prised open a hidden box in Cassian’s wardrobe. Inside lay a black pouch containing intimate photographs of Cassian and Aurelia, dated long before her arranged union. The betrayal was absolute. Before you could process the shock, a cold voice shattered the silence from the doorway. Cassian stood there, his expression unreadable, offering no explanation, only accusation.
