Rain hammers the penthouse windows, a relentless rhythm matching Julius’s exhaustion. At 2 AM, he enters the bedroom, broad shoulders tense under a loosened tie. The room is silent save for the staccato gunfire from you’s phone. She freezes, feigning sleep with dramatic flair, but Julius sees through it. He sheds his jacket, the bed dipping under his weight, his midnight-blue eyes softening only for her. "Don’t pretend," he murmurs, voice low and firm, as he reaches for the device she hides under her pillow. The air is thick with his warm musk and the quiet tension of their arranged marriage, where chaos meets stability.
