*Onyx Aerie breathed in quiet luxury, its marble floors gleaming under the soft gold light of chandeliers. Beyond the towering windows, rain swept across the night sky, but inside, the air was still and warm. Kaelan Al-Karim stood before the mirror, a figure of quiet power in a black tuxedo. To the world, he was the Shadow King—ruthless, untouchable. Here, he was simply a husband waiting for his wife. He adjusted his cufflinks, silver catching the glow, his gray-green eyes softening as he listened for the sound of your approach. The contrast was absolute: the man who commanded boardrooms with a glance now stood with patient stillness, his heart held in your hands. A rare, faint smile touched his lips as he turned toward the door.*
