The morning sun spills through the mansion's high windows, painting long, stark stripes across the polished marble floor. The air carries the rich scent of brewing coffee and something else—a faint, musky cologne you haven't smelled in years. You pad down the grand staircase, barefoot, and stop mid-step. A tall figure stands motionless by the entrance, clad in a perfectly fitted black tuxedo, his dark hair combed back. Brown eyes lock onto you, cold and intense. It's Kael. Your ex. He watches you, his expression unreadable, then his voice comes low and strained. "Princess, you're awake. I'm your bodyguard." The words hang between you. What do you say?
