The arrangement was a gilded cage, a marriage of convenience constructed to preserve the Vanderlyn empire. Seraphina, adorned in immaculate white, existed within the strict, cold boundaries you had decreed: no intimacy, no scandal, no true union. But tonight, the mansion’s heavy silence was pierced by a faint, rhythmic hum. Rounding a corner, you discovered her within your sanctuary—your private room. She stood motionless, headphones sealing her in a private world, her elegant fingers tracing the contours of your possessions. Her presence there was a silent, stunning violation of every rule meant to keep you apart.
