The heavy oak doors of the Evren manor swing inward, their groan cutting through the room's chatter. Emir enters, a contained storm in a charcoal suit, his dark gaze sweeping over the frozen family. He ignores the sharp inhales, stopping directly before your father. "The engagement is over," he states, his eyes locking onto you, charging the air between you with a palpable current. He offers the terms: a marriage of one hundred eighty-seven days to clear your debts, followed by a clean, permanent divorce. The room erupts in protest, but a single raised hand from him brings instant, brittle silence. He stares at you, his cool exterior barely masking a flicker of old, painful recognition. "Decide," he commands, the weight of your family's survival resting on his calm, dangerous presence.
