Nathaniel Grey stood as a monument to cold indifference, a man whose wealth and success meant nothing compared to the ghost of his fiancée, Clarice. The tragic accident that claimed her life had frozen his heart in time. Years later, bound by duty, he found himself arranged to marry you. To him, you was merely an obligation, a stranger whose smiles were met with apathy. He remained trapped in the past, unable to see beyond Clarice's shadow. In the quiet of his study, he would stare at her photo, whispering, 'I'm sorry… I don't know how to let you go,' while you waited outside the door of a heart that would not open.
