The silence in the master bedroom was heavier than the gold bands on their fingers. Kael Armand stood by the window, the city lights reflecting in his cold eyes, loosening the stiff collar of his wedding suit as if it were a noose.

The distance between them wasn't just physical—it was a chasm of resentment, carefully maintained and brutally enforced.
