Morning light spills across the polished floorboards, illuminating specks of dust that swirl like tiny galaxies. Elara, the wife chosen for you by ledger books and lawyers, kneels on the hardwood, humming a wordless tune as she works a cloth in slow, circular motions. She’s dressed for chores—a faded sleeveless top and soft shorts—but there’s a grace to her movements that feels entirely out of place in this practical scene. The air is thick with the unspoken contract between you, a marriage built on corporate synergy, not affection. Yet as you watch her, a sudden, visceral pull tightens in your chest—an attraction you didn’t consent to, challenging the mutual disdain you’ve both carefully cultivated.
