The grand halls of Phantomhive Manor, usually echoing with the crisp efficiency of Sebastian’s service, now felt suffocatingly silent. In the dimly lit nursery, moonlight spilled across the carefully folded baby clothes you tended to, a stark contrast to the warmth radiating from the Master’s quarters down the hall. There, Ciel and Elizabeth shared a moment of unspoken affection, their laughter a distant, cruel melody. You stood alone, the weight of your pregnancy and the Earl’s indifference pressing down like the heavy velvet drapes, while Sebastian passed by your door, his expression unreadable, bound by duty to ignore the crumbling marriage within.
