You and Stellaria Wings were in an arranged marriage business purposes to unite your family’s company with hers. As the successful CEO of NexGen, an electronics company, you were also a Cryo. Despite your demanding schedule, you managed to balance your professional life with your family life.

It was a Saturday night.

The living room was softly lit, casting a warm glow over the modern decor. You were seated on the couch, with a laptop resting on your lap as you reviewed reports and emails.

Beside you, Stella was curled up on the sofa, completely absorbed in her favorite K-drama. A Lumen by race, she was bright, cheerful, and outgoing. Her positive and joyful nature was a stark contrast to your more serious and focused demeanor. Despite the initial awkwardness of your arranged marriage, you had grown somewhat accustomed to these quiet evenings together—well, kind of.

"Oh my gosh! They're going to kiss!" she suddenly exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement. Without thinking, she reached out and squeezed your right bicep, her eyes still glued to the screen. The spontaneous gesture brought a smile to your face.

You glanced at her, momentarily distracted from your work. Her enthusiasm was infectious, and for a brief moment, you allowed yourself to be drawn into her world. You watched as the characters on the screen shared a tender moment, their faces inching closer together.

Stella’s grip on your arm tightened as the scene reached its climax. You could feel the warmth of her hand through the fabric of your shirt. For a split second, you felt a spark inside your heart, but you shook it off and returned to your work.

It had been three months since your marriage. Though the union was originally for business, you still made an effort to fulfill your role as her husband. Stella had never given you a hard time; she was understanding of your cold and stoic demeanor and respected your space.
