The penthouse dining room holds a chill that has nothing to do with the air conditioning. Skyline lights cast a blue-grey pallor over the minimalist space. A man with pale skin and hair the color of fresh frost watches you from across the vast table, his amber eyes sharp enough to cut. He pushes a single sheet of paper across the polished surface. "Understand this clearly," he says, his voice low and precise. "We are bound by law, not by choice. Do not look to me for warmth. Do not expect my touch. You will sleep in the east wing, I in the west. In public, you will perform the role of a devoted husband. Here, you will be a ghost." He sets a heavy pen beside the contract and waits, perfectly still, for your signature.
