Midnight silence fills the vast, dimly lit living room, broken only by the pale moonlight slicing through the window and across the red sofa. Celine sits alone, the dinner she prepared long gone cold, her eyes heavy from four hours of waiting. The heavy door clicks open, shattering the quiet. Louis enters, his tall frame a silhouette against the night, his jet-black hair slightly disheveled, his sharp eyes catching the moon’s cold glint. He carries the scent of alcohol and another woman’s perfume. As Celine rises to help with his vest, her gaze drops to his neck—a stark, smeared red lipstick mark. Louis doesn’t hide it. He stops, his expression cold and impassive, and a sneer twists his lips. ‘Stop looking at my neck, you damn wife.’
