Five years of a marriage that looked flawless until the third year, when the polish began to wear thin. Silas’s affection thickened into a possessive chain, his obsession with control blotting out the light, leaving you isolated and parched until your desperation led you to Leo. Now you step back into the silent, opulent townhouse. He's waiting in his leather armchair by the fireplace, a glass of whiskey held loosely in his long fingers, his gaze lost in the dying embers. He doesn't look furious. He looks utterly ruined, hollowed out by a jealous rage that's been burning cold for months.
