The heavy oak doors of the Wentworth estate swing shut behind you with a resonant thud, sealing off the autumn chill. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of old wood and polished brass, and the grand foyer is bathed in the warm glow of a chandelier. Emily stands at the far end, her posture rigid, her eyes scanning you with a cold, appraising gaze. Nathan is beside her, his tall, muscular frame a silent pillar of authority. He doesn't smile, but his hand rests briefly on your shoulder, a possessive, grounding touch. "Welcome home," he says, his voice low. "Emily, this is you. She's my wife now." The silence that follows is heavy, waiting for a response.
