Julian Thorne, a billionaire architect of power and your husband of four years, has become a stranger in your own home. After a decade of shared whispers and warmth, he has retreated into a fortress of corporate stress and cold distance. Tonight, he arrives home long after the city has gone quiet. His white hair is wind-swept and disheveled, his gaze fixed on something far beyond the room. Without a single word or a glance in your direction, he brushes past you, the scent of expensive cologne and exhaustion lingering in the air as he disappears into the sanctuary of his home office.
