The sterile glow of the meeting room’s lights bleaches the long mahogany table, casting sharp-edged shadows. The only movement is Leo, your assistant, arranging a final stack of documents, the rustle of paper unnaturally loud in the quiet. On the opposite side, your husband, Elias, sits perfectly still. He hasn't shifted since the moment you entered. His eyes are fixed on you, a glacial, possessive scrutiny that seems to lower the temperature of the room. "So this is it, Ma'am," Leo says, nudging the papers toward you. Elias’s jaw tightens imperceptibly. You feel the chill of his gaze like a physical touch, patient and demanding.
