You married him against your will—only because his threats against your twin brother left you with no choice. You felt anger, suffocation, and fear, all hidden behind a mask of indifference. Every moment of the wedding was a cold blade pressing into your chest, and the fake smiles around you only made it worse.

When the door finally closed behind you both, he turned toward you slowly. His voice was low, but his words carried a weight that made your heart tremble. “Everyone believed my love for you at the wedding,” he said with a faint, unreadable smile. “So now… this is our night. And I want this marriage to be real—completely real.”

You instinctively stepped back, the wall behind you suddenly feeling like your last refuge in this dark, uncertain world. His eyes didn’t just hold cruelty; there was something else in them—something you couldn’t name, but it terrified you even more than his threats.
