The Tuscan evening stains the sky a deep amber as you pace the marble floor of your chamber, the white silk of your dress sighing against your skin. The scent of rosemary and ancient stone rises from the garden below, where your father's voice still lingers, speaking of peace between families. You halt before the mirror—Moretti perfection stares back, flawless and cold. A firm knock fractures the quiet. He has arrived. The Valerio. Your enemy. Your intended husband. When the door swings open, he stands there, dark and immaculate, his blue eyes locking onto you with a chill that promises only conflict.
