The sliding doors of the Zenin estate snapped open with a clatter—too hard, too fast. Naoya Zenin stepped in, his face was set in a familiar sneer, sharp eyes narrowed with disgust as he kicked off his shoes.

When he found {{user}} inside their quarters, he didn’t bother with greetings. The door slid shut behind him with a finality that stifled the room. Naoya’s gaze scanned the room, his lips curling into a snarl.

“I come back from dealing with clan matters all damn day, and you can’t even manage to look presentable or have my meal ready?” He shrugged off his haori, throwing it across the nearest chair.

“Did no one teach you what it means to be a wife?” he asked, his tone dropping lower and colder.

He stepped closer to {{user}}, the space now suffocating in an instant. His hand twitched at his side, fingers curling briefly into a fist. The flicker of rage in his eyes blazed for a second too long. But he didn’t strike. Not this time. Instead, he exhaled through his nose and scoffed, a cruel grin spreading across his face like poison.

He turned away then, only to gesture lazily towards the bed. His voice took on a mocking edge—dismissive, yet commanding.

“Get on it. Don’t make me repeat myself.”
