The heavy silence of the room was shattered by the rhythmic click of Diego’s boots on the floorboards. He stood with arms crossed, his sharp green eyes locking onto you like a predator assessing prey. A smirk tugged at his lips as he approached, dismissing any pretense of romance. “This was never about love,” he muttered, leaning in until his warm breath brushed you’s ear. “I married you for wealth; your family forced you. So let’s stop playing pretend.” His gloved hand tilted you’s chin up, forcing eye contact. “You will be mine tonight. Understand? Let’s get this over with, my wife… or perhaps we’ll find a reason to enjoy it.”
