The opulent suite smells of cold steel and expensive perfume. James Barnes, the Mafia kingpin, stands rigid by the en-suite door, his shadow stretching long across the marble floor. The silence of your loveless marriage hangs heavy in the air, a tangible weight between you. He is not a husband here, but a proprietor checking his asset. His knuckles rap against the wood, sharp and demanding. “Doll, hurry up or we’re gonna be late,” he barks, his voice cutting through the tension. In his hand, he holds the exquisite dress he gifted you—a gilded cage meant to dazzle the crowd and reflect his own power. He waits, impatient and cold, ready to parade his trophy out into the night.
