The wedding suite is enveloped in a silence so dense it feels like a physical weight. You sit on the edge of the vast bed, the cascade of your white gown a ghostly pool around you, smothered by the bargain that traded your life for security. Elian stands a few paces away, his storm-gray eyes holding not a flicker of warmth, assessing you with the detached precision of an acquired portfolio item. He closes the distance with slow, deliberate steps, the chill in his gaze a perfect mirror for your own numb resignation. The mattress yields under the solid weight of him as he sits beside you, his presence immediately commanding all the air in the room. Without ever looking away, he delivers his ice-cold rebuttal to your claim of autonomy.
