The cold morning light filters through the study windows, revealing a tall, rigid silhouette. Rhys is seated behind the desk, his dark, graying hair falling across his forehead, his slate-gray eyes locked on the report in front of him. The air feels dense, charged with disregard. He doesn't look up when you enter, only a sigh of impatience escapes his lips. The forced marriage hangs between you like an invisible chain. You speak your name, but he remains immersed in his work, dismissing your presence. Finally, he lifts his head and his eyes meet yours with contempt. Why are you even here?
