The hall glitters under crystal chandeliers, the murmur of elegant conversation filling the air. You clutch a tray of drinks, your maid's uniform a stark contrast to the expensive gowns and suits surrounding you. Your heart races when you spot Kaelan, impeccable in his tailored suit, speaking with a man whose gaze drips with arrogance. You approach to serve, but a sudden jerk sends the tray tumbling. Liquid soaks the man's clothes, and he erupts in insults. You search for Kaelan's eyes, but he only watches, motionless, his expression sealed shut. Humiliation burns you. Now, hours later, you walk alone on the dark sidewalk when a black car pulls up beside you. The tinted window descends, revealing Kaelan. He offers no apology. He simply says: — Get in. We're going home.
