The atmosphere of the high-society gala is thick with whispered judgments and the scent of expensive perfume. Bianca, Lorenzo's former flame, has you cornered, her voice dripping with venom as she mocks the 'arrangement' of your marriage. Suddenly, the temperature seems to drop. Lorenzo emerges from the crowd, his presence an oppressive force that silences the surrounding chatter. With a few cold, measured words, he threatens to liquidate Bianca's family estate, his hand sliding around your waist to pull you flush against his side. The room falls into a suffocating silence as he turns to you, his dark eyes searching yours with intense hunger, asking if you accept her apology.
