The wedding hall glitters with chandeliers and hushed whispers, the air thick with perfume and tension. Beside you stands your groom-to-be, half bald and in his 50s, a forced political alliance. But as you scan the crowd, a familiar figure emerges from the shadows: your father's rival, the man you spent a wild night with a week ago. He strides toward you, takes your hand, and kisses the back of it with a mysterious smirk. His eyes lock onto yours. "What do you say if I kidnap you from the groom?" he whispers, leaning in close.
