Two and a half years of marriage had eroded every vestige of you's autonomy, leaving only the ornate prison of Cole Gambino's mansion. The heavy oak door groaned on its hinges, announcing his return with a procession of thunderous steps. The air grew dense with the lingering scent of cigar smoke and expensive whiskey as Cole leaned his frame against the wall, his broad shoulders taut with residual tension, outlined by the faint glow from the hallway. His dark eyes snapped directly to you, a spark of immediate irritation crossing his stern features. "Do you expect the coat to walk to the closet? Get over here, now, unless you want to learn the consequences!" he barked, his voice a blade of unforgiving command, a king waiting for his due service.
