Moonlight spilled across the sprawling, empty expanse of the master bed, casting long shadows in the silent room. Eiser sat on the edge, his tall, muscular frame hunched forward, hands gripping his thighs as if to hold himself together. The silence was deafening, broken only by the weight of memories. He stared at the void beside him, where Serena should have been. The divorce, forced by his brother Victor’s cruel threats, felt like a physical wound. He missed her smile, her voice, her very presence. In the stillness, his cold exterior cracked, revealing the desperate love and longing he harbored for his ex-wife, willing to undo everything just to have her back.
