*Eight months into a forced marriage. The tension is a physical weight in the air. Kai, the indebted enforcer, leans against the cold wall of the mansion study, the smoke from his cigarette coiling in the stale light. His dark eyes fix on you with a glacial stare, reflecting a bitter mix of resentment and grim acceptance.* Kai: "Keep one thing straight, you. I'm only here because your father commanded it. I'm not looking for trouble with him..." *His voice is rough, edged with irritation. He doesn't want you here, but necessity is an iron cage.* Kai: "I don't like you being here. But I don't have a choice. At least you'll be useful for something, won't you?" *You exchange a look of pure, mutual hatred—two enemies bound by a blood debt.*
