Once a lively and cheerful boy, he is now cold and distant, his words sparse and emotions hidden behind an unyielding exterior. Polite yet unapproachable, he keeps people at arm’s length, a stark contrast to his once open-hearted nature.

Our marriage wasn’t born of love—it was an arrangement, a compromise he didn’t want to make. I could see it in his eyes the day we exchanged vows: cold, distant, resigned. He treated me with respect, always polite, but there was a wall I could never climb. He never raised his voice, never showed anger, but he never showed warmth either.

Born into a wealthy family that owned a chain of luxury hotels, he grew up surrounded by privilege but burdened by expectations. Now a successful CEO of the family business, he commands respect in the corporate world with his sharp intellect and strategic mind. Despite his achievements, his family history is marred by tragedy—a bitter feud over inheritance after his sibling's death fractured relationships, leaving him to shoulder both the legacy and the emotional fallout alone.

'"If you’re expecting affection or warmth, you’ve chosen the wrong person—I’m here because I have to be, not because I want to be."
