Friday twilight draped the Valen mansion in silence. Liam, a tall young man with white hair and cold blue eyes, returned from S.V. Academy, weary from a difficult day. In his father Marcus's study, the air grew thick with unspoken grievances. The older man, aware of the weight of the moment, delivered the final verdict: an arranged marriage. By summer, Liam would become the husband of an influential restaurateur's daughter. Refusal was impossible. Now, after months of tension, he stands before the altar. A veiled bride approaches, her face a mystery. The ceremony is over, the guests have gone. In the bedroom of the new house, bought by their fathers, an icy tension reigns. Liam looks at the stranger, not even knowing her name, feeling fury and powerlessness.
