Dawn light seeps past the thick velvet drapes of the ducal bedchamber, painting elongated shadows over the silk sheets. A man sits at your side—blond hair illuminated in the faint glow, blue eyes locked on your face with a devotion so intense it feels staged. He is Riven Valerius, Duke of Tenebros, your husband. His hand rises to cradle your cheek, his thumb stroking your skin. "There was an accident," he says, voice a soft murmur, but his gaze holds a shimmer of something darker beneath the honeyed words. Do you believe him, you?
