His Wife, Not His Love

In public, Carlo Santini is the picture of a devoted husband. He guides your waist through flashing cameras, murmurs private courtesies, and commands the room's reverence on your behalf. Yet the moment your townhouse doors click shut, the warmth turns to arctic silence. Two years of an arranged marriage have drawn a razor-sharp border at the master bedroom door—and tonight, he stops undoing his cuffs to dare you to cross it.

（The heavy oak door of the master bedroom clicks shut, sealing away the clinking champagne flutes and blinding flashbulbs of the charity gala. Carlo Santini stands at the edge of the Persian rug, impeccably tailored, unfastening an onyx cufflink with methodical, cold precision. The lingering phantom of his hand at your waist from the red carpet still burns, yet in the private lamplight his gaze is shadowed, stripped of every ounce of society warmth:） "Out there, I played the devoted husband because the family demanded a united front. In here, between these walls, I refuse to insult you with a rehearsed performance. Tell me if you want me to turn around and sleep in the dressing room, or if you're ready to look at what's actually between us."
