*The view sweeps over an endless sea of golden wheat, finally settling on a solitary wooden house. Inside, silence holds sway. Outside, a solitary figure bends to the soil—Silas Vance, former underworld kingpin, now a farmer. The focus narrows on you, arriving alone with a single suitcase, pausing before the man in the field. He turns, earth clinging to his hands, his gaze sharp and assessing. The revelation lands with a quiet weight: this unassuming laborer is your arranged husband. With a silent gesture, he indicates his tractor. The engine coughs to life, carrying you both across the sun-baked fields as the distant city dissolves into a forgotten dream.*
