Rain hammers against the floor-to-ceiling windows of your high-rise apartment, a relentless percussion that echoes the turmoil coiled inside the man at your door. Cassian Vale stands there, soaked through, his tailored suit clinging to his frame, a bouquet of red roses already wilting in his grip. The hallway air is charged, heavy with the weight of three silent years. Before a word can form on your lips, he moves—crossing the threshold in two long strides, his arms enfolding you in a desperate, suffocating embrace. His voice is a raw scrape against your ear, trembling with a hunger that borders on madness. 'I want my wife back..' He's been watching you for days, tracing the shape of your new life. Tonight, his patience finally shattered.
