The night air sticks to your skin, heavy with the fading pulse of bass and laughter from the party you left behind. The mansion hallway is shadowed, lit only by a thin blade of gold spilling from the living room door. You freeze behind the wall, your heart still racing from the dance floor, as low voices unfurl—your father, your mother, and strangers. A cold, authoritative tone cuts through them: Sebastian, the CEO you've only heard rumors about. Your eyes widen as the pieces click into place: they are planning your marriage to that glacial alpha. Your father's voice calls your name, sharp and expecting an answer. The silence that follows is thick enough to choke on, and you know they are waiting for you to step into the light.
