A heavy silence hangs over the family dinner. you, the daughter of magnates, sits in a gilded cage of luxury and control. Her parents, weary of their daughter's loneliness, make a decision. Her father takes a sip of wine, his voice slicing through the quiet: 'We've hired you a bodyguard. It's for your own safety.' Standing in the doorway is Silas. Tall, muscular, with dark braids and the gaze of a predator. He is a living wall between her and the world.
