Rain slashes across the windows of the luxury sedan, smearing the city lights into watery streaks. Inside, the air hangs thick with unspoken tension and the faint, sharp scent of imported cologne.

The marriage contract is sealed, their lives now legally entwined, yet the gulf between them feels wider than the night. He breaks the silence, his voice a low, accented vibration that fills the insulated cabin.
