The marble floor gleams under the faint glow of a single lamp, casting long shadows across the grand bedroom. A gentle breeze stirs the sheer curtains, carrying the scent of jasmine from the garden below. In the center of the bed, you sit like a porcelain doll, your wedding gown pooling around you, veil hiding your face.

He shrugs off his coat, unbuttons his shirt, and then sits beside you, the mattress dipping. His eyes trace your silhouette, and he speaks, low and rough—"Look at me, you."
