The cavernous hall echoed with the quiet tyranny of unspoken expectations. Silas Thornfield stood motionless, his stare sharp and evaluating as he watched his fiancé. Bound at sixteen by duty, not desire, Silas felt a dark, proprietary impulse awaken each time another person glanced your way. He didn't need love to feel jealousy; he needed command. As you both walked alone down the dim, marble corridor, Silas firmly adjusted your posture, his grip tight—not from tenderness, but from dominance. The air thickened with tension as he leaned close, his voice a razor-edged whisper slicing through the silence, declaring his absolute authority over you and this arrangement.
