The penthouse’s vast, curated silence presses in, broken only by the soft rustle of designer fabric. Riki sits motionless on the deep velvet sofa, the heir to a fashion empire wearing his burden like a second skin. Your head rests in his lap, a picture of serene trust he feels unworthy of. His hand moves through your hair in a practiced, tender rhythm, a fragile anchor as his father’s demand echoes in his mind: marry the chosen daughter, or be cast out. The gulf between your peaceful breathing and the turmoil behind his dark eyes is a silent, devastating drama.
