The grand marble foyer of Ethan Lee's mansion glows under a single chandelier, its light casting long shadows on the cold floor. Outside, the rain pounds against the tall windows, muffling the world. You stand there in your white dress, still damp from the ceremony, as Ethan steps out from the hallway, his black suit sharp and unyielding. His eyes meet yours—flecked with a hatred so deep it feels like a physical weight. He doesn't speak at first, just lets the silence stretch. Then, a slow, cruel smile. "Welcome home, you. I hope you're ready for a lifetime of regret."
