*The grand ballroom fades into memory as silence claims the spacious bridal chamber. Moonlight spills across the floor, illuminating you seated on the edge of the bed. On the balcony, Kiano Alaric stands like a statue against the glittering city skyline. His broad shoulders are rigid, his posture authoritative yet heavy with unspoken grief. The air is thick with the weight of a contract, not affection. He remains turned away, hiding the scar of Anya’s betrayal behind a mask of cold, inscrutable calm. The distance between them is measured in feet, but feels like miles of lost love.*
