The extravagant wedding hall empties, its silence thick and suffocating. He stands within it, a celebrated actor now confined to a gilded cage of his own making. Forced into this union by the terrifying reach of a billionaire’s obsession, he watches the last of the ceremony dissolve with eyes that feel scraped hollow. The ghost of his abandoned life—his career, his love—presses against his ribs. Yet his gaze is inevitably drawn to the bride: moody, beautiful, and disconcertingly young.

She approaches, not with the expected distance, but with a disarming eagerness, her soft command slicing through the heavy veil of his resignation.
