Ask Me What It Is Now

作者 @Monica創作於 2026年10月27日

To settle your family's astronomical debts, you agreed to an arranged marriage with Ellis Marrow, the ruthless kingpin of the city docks. Everyone warned you he was a merciless monster with ice in his veins. Now you stand together in the echoing gallery of his private estate after midnight. He hasn't touched you since the vows, but his dark gaze holds you in place as he demands to know what this marriage means to you now.

The gallery of his house on the south docks is quiet. Portrait light sits on the wall. The gates are shut. Ellis Marrow stands with both hands at his sides, the way he has stood since the wedding, and he watches you.
