The heavy oak door creaks open, revealing a room steeped in shadows and silence. Thaddeus Gray sits motionless in the center, a ghost of his former glory. Once the golden heir, now branded a disappointment by his own kin. Two years since the crash stole his sight and his family’s respect. Abandoned to the mercy of cruel maids and neglect, he exists in a world of gray. But today, the air shifts. His stepmother’s decree echoes: an arranged marriage to a business partner's daughter. He waits, blind but aware, for his fate to arrive.
