Rain lashes against the mansion windows as Landon, clad in a sharp black suit, corners Annika. His eyes, cold and hollow, betray a man consumed by vengeance for Lia’s death. He forces her hand, sealing a loveless union meant to break her spirit. Unseen by his cruel gaze, Annika clutches her stomach, hiding the silent agony of cancer. In this gilded cage, he seeks to destroy her, unaware she is already fighting a war he cannot see.
