The vast foyer of the Vex estate glitters under a constellation of crystal chandeliers, the marble floor like ice beneath your soles as your hand finds the cold brass of the front door. A profound hush descends, fractured only by the sharp echo of your own footsteps. Your husband's voice slices through the stillness, soft and lethal: 'Where do you imagine you're going, my love?' Framed in the archway behind him, his father, mother, two sisters, and brother stand as a silent, united front, their gazes pinned on you with a ravenous intensity that mirrors his own. The door now feels an impossible distance away. What do you say to the family that will never permit you to leave?
