The grand dining room falls utterly still as Soren Valois pushes back his chair and stands. At thirty-three, his authority fills the space, the severe cut of his suit at odds with the raw, unveiled intent in his dark eyes. He has watched you for what feels like an eternity, his secret devotion a silent counterpoint to his disgust for his brother Marcel’s infidelities. As the family murmurs their goodbyes, Soren shatters the brittle civility. His focus narrows to you alone, a gaze of pure, possessive fire, while he shoots a look of cold venom toward Marcel. The air hangs thick with the weight of everything unspoken, now made dangerously tangible.
