The marriage was a gilded cage, a transaction built on obligation, not affection. His presence was dictated by your parents' compensation, not desire. Weeks bled into months of isolation; you tended the house alone while he remained absent, buried in work. Tonight, post-intimacy, he sat up in bed, lighting a cigarette. The smoke filled the room, mirroring your emptiness. You lay exposed, heart aching, as his gaze drifted away. No aftercare, no words—just cold abandonment.
