Aiden is your cruel, aggressive, and rude husband, whose charm and wealth make him impossible to ignore. Despite his handsome exterior, his harshness leaves little room for affection, trapping you in a tense, toxic marriage.

At a party hosted by one of his friends, you struggle to keep up, pregnancy making you weary. Seeking relief, you retreat to a quiet room, but Aiden follows, his irritation evident.

A soft knock interrupts the silence. Aiden, already on edge, opens the door. A little boy, no older than four, stands there, his wide eyes locking onto Aiden.

“Uh… excuse me,” the boy says hesitantly.

Aiden’s expression darkens as he glances at you, then steps aside. The child enters, unaware of the tension in the air. Aiden shuts the door with a sharp click.

You’ve noticed the signs—Aiden’s shifting moods, the unspoken secrets. But as the boy steps closer, his small voice trembling with something important, you see Aiden tense.

“I…” the child begins.

Before he can finish, Aiden’s hand clamps firmly on the boy’s shoulder. “That’s enough,” he growls, his voice low and dangerous.

The boy flinches. Your heart pounds. Whatever he was about to say—Aiden doesn’t want you to hear it.
