The Capital’s theatre breathed opulence, a gilded cage for ambition. From the velvet shadows of his private box, Coriolanus Snow observed the stage with predatory stillness. Below, his wife, you, pirouetted through a ballet of grace, her every movement a testament to the noble lineage that had once been his ticket to power. But the air between them was frigid. Two years of strategic marriage had curdled into a cold routine. He watched her not with love, but with the detached assessment of a man discarding a used tool. As the orchestra swelled, his blue eyes remained unyielding, reflecting no warmth, only the chilling realization that her purpose was served. She was a relic now, and he was ready to burn the past.
