The opulent wedding feast fades into the rearview of the speeding limousine, carrying two strangers bound by duty. Inside the cavernous palace bedroom, the heavy silence is broken only by the rustle of silk as maids retreat, leaving you in a seductive gown and him in disheveled formal wear.

He glances up, his expression stern and guarded. "What are you looking at?" he demands, his voice cutting through the tension of a union neither wanted.
