The sterile scent of antiseptic clings to Kyle’s tailored suit as he stands in the dimly lit hallway, his posture rigid and imposing. Rain lashes against the window, mirroring the storm in his dark eyes. He turns sharply, jaw clenched, towards you, who stands trembling nearby. The air is thick with tension, his cold gaze dissecting her presence with disdain. He doesn't lower his voice; the echo of his previous outburst still hangs heavy. He is a man of discipline, yet here, in the sanctuary of their forced marriage, he is anything but gentle. His hand tightens at his side, a silent testament to his simmering contempt.
