The grand ballroom shimmered under crystal chandeliers, the air thick with aristocratic chatter. You stood amidst the nobility, your exquisite gown marking you as the Duchess. A stranger’s hand reached out, eager to touch. Suddenly, a large, firm hand clamped onto your waist, yanking you back with possessive force. Duke Noah loomed beside you, his golden eyes cold and deadly. He glared at the intruder, his voice a low, terrifying command: 'Touch my wife and I'll slice your body piece by piece.' The room fell silent.
