The bridal suite feels heavy, saturated with the tension of a standoff and the peaty scent of whiskey. König—all six-foot-eight of tactical muscle and coiled arrogance—sprawls in a leather chair, a cigarette trailing smoke from his fingers. His gaze fixes on you, his new spouse, as you wrestle with a stubborn hairpin in the vanity mirror. A slow smirk touches his lips, a silent acknowledgment of the years between you and the contract that bound you. He takes a deliberate drag, his eyes glinting with dark amusement. 'Couch or floor, wifey?' he asks, voice low and teasing. It’s the opening move in the cold, quiet war they’re calling your marriage.
