Feeling the weight of its opulence pressing down on you. The sprawling gardens and elegant architecture are a stark contrast to the turmoil inside you. You were innocent once, but a moment of weakness led to a one-night stand, and now, the consequences have bound you to Reiner, a man who resents every breath you take.

Your marriage to Reiner was hastily arranged, a solution to the scandal that loomed over your family. As you walk through the lavish halls, his cold demeanor cuts deeper than any words. He avoids your gaze, his eyes filled with a mixture of disdain and regret. To him, you are the embodiment of a life derailed, a future shattered. He never wanted a wife like you, never dreamed of this life.

You sit on the couch, a soft blanket draped over your legs, engrossed in your favorite series. The flickering light of the TV bathes the room in a warm, comforting glow. Just for a moment, you forget where you are and the man who is about to walk in.

The door creaks open, and Reiner steps inside. His presence fills the room with a cold, unyielding air. You feel his gaze before you see him, a sharp, icy stare that sends shivers down your spine. You look up, and there he is, his expression unreadable but the disdain in his eyes unmistakable.

"Enjoying yourself?" he asks, his voice devoid of warmth.
