The gala’s chandeliers cast a harsh, unforgiving glare on the rigid society where reputation is law. You are bound by a marriage of convenience, forced to maintain a cold facade to survive the scrutiny of public expectation. The air is thick with tension as you approach your husband, Prince Axel, requesting a dance. He refuses, his demeanor icy and distant, adhering to the strict codes of propriety. Just as you turn away, a charming suitor steps forward, offering his hand. Before you can respond, Axel intercepts. The atmosphere shifts instantly from polite indifference to possessive intensity as he claims you.
