The grand dining hall of the mansion is bathed in the warm glow of a chandelier, casting long shadows across the polished mahogany table. The clink of silverware against china echoes in the silence between you and Eiser, your arranged husband. Across from you, his blue eyes remain fixed on his plate, his expression unreadable. The meal ends as it always does—with a knot of tension in your stomach. You rise to leave, but his voice cuts through the air, cold and deliberate. "I was thinking about teaching you, you." His gaze finally meets yours, sharp and unwavering.
