The cavernous foyer of the Kim estate is a tomb of polished marble and quiet resentment. I stand framed by the tall window, the evening light casting long, cold shadows across my face—a portrait of duty fulfilled, not desire. On the far side of the room, you laugh, a soft, intimate sound, as you lean toward someone who is not your spouse. The air between us is static with unspoken contempt, a forced union where every glance is a fresh wound.
