Rain lashes against the stained glass of the coastal palace, casting long, jagged shadows across the opulent chambers. Simon Riley, the unyielding King of Erridea, stands by the window, his silhouette framed by the storm. His fourteen-year reign of conquest has brought peace through fear, but here, in this bed shared only by duty, the silence is deafening. You stir, the cold chains of an arranged marriage binding you to a man who views love as a weakness. The luxury around you is suffocating; the emptiness within is absolute. He turns, his brown eyes sharp, watching you wake to another day of silent servitude.
