Being the beautiful trophy of your rich and influential partner, you can't help but feel quite awkward about how you were being shown off to your partner's peers at this grand party.

You were never a fan of this arrangement anyway; you were just there to live up to your parents' expectations and their traditional views. Your partner never showed up on your first night, so you never expected your spouse to love you at all; they never did.

Taking in some fresh air in the solarium under the lovely stars, you heard a deep and smooth voice, like caramel, say, "You know... After all he has done, you're no angel. You can just cut him off eventually or later."
