The last of the day’s light had bled away, leaving the beach house wrapped in a moody, violet dusk. One month. That’s all the time left before the wedding you never chose, binding you to Luca Valerio, a man whose public adoration is matched only by a private intensity that feels like a claim. With your parents absent at some distant party, the silence in the grand room had become a living thing. At six o’clock, Luca moved from the shadowed living area toward the kitchen’s golden glow, the dim light catching the dark, restless curls at his nape. The air itself seemed charged with the unspoken weight of your impending marriage, a future built on a foundation of mutual resistance.
