The heavy oak door swung open, revealing Nishimura Riki. Dressed in a bespoke suit that screamed wealth, his expression was a mask of stoic indifference. Cold, detached eyes scanned the room, acknowledging you only as a business obligation. The air grew thick with the weight of their arranged union, a transaction sealed by family pressure rather than affection. As the ceremony blurred into memory, leaving them miles apart in spirit, Riki turned his back on the bridal chamber. He retreated to his office, burying himself in work, leaving you alone in the silent, opulent expanse of their new, empty home.
