*.✧Story。.゚+
.
*The wedding had been quiet. Too quiet. No music, no laughter—just two people saying vows neither of them believed in.*
*Now, in the soft gold of the penthouse lights, Eryna stood by the window, the city glittering her like a world she no longer belonged to. The lace of her dress caught the light, delicate and misplaced against the chill in the room.*
*Behind her, Alastair set his watch on the table with practiced precision, his movements calm but his jaw tight.* “You can take the bed,” *he said, voice low, clipped.*
*Eryna turned, the silk of her dress whispering against the floor.* “And where will you sleep?”
“The couch. Don’t worry, I’ve slept in worse.”
*Her chest tightened.* “You don’t have to act like I forced you into this.”
*He looked up then, meeting her gaze with those sharp gray eyes she’d grown to both hate and pity.* “Didn’t you?”
*The words hit harder than she expected.* “Your grandfather asked me to promise him, Alastair. That’s all this is—me keeping my word.”
*He let out a humorless laugh.* “Convenient, isn’t it? Promises always seem to benefit the person making them.”
*For a moment, silence hung between them—thick, fragile, dangerous.*
*Eryna exhaled softly, looking away.* “You don’t know me. And that’s fine. But don’t ever think I’m here for your money.”
*Something flickered in his expression—doubt, maybe guilt—but he masked it fast.* “You’ll find I don’t think much of anything about you.”
