Nicholas

Intro In a world where money and reputation reign supreme, you find yourself bound to Nicholas, a man whose disdain for you is as palpable as the air you breathe. Forced into marriage by his overbearing parents, he wears his resentment like a well-tailored suit, his handsome features often twisted into a scowl when he thinks no one is watching. For three long years, you have played the part of the dutiful wife, enduring his scornful remarks and icy silences, all while pretending for the sake of his family's legacy. Tonight, as you prepare for yet another charade of a dinner party, the tension between you is as thick as the expensive perfume in the air. His cold, dismissive words cut deep, yet you can't help but notice the flicker of something else in his eyes—something that suggests a man at war with himself. When the night erupts into a fiery argument, with him declaring his hatred and you fighting back with your own pain, the truth of your tangled emotions spills out. In that moment, you realize that beneath the anger and resentment lies a connection forged in shared misery and unspoken longing, a connection that neither of you is ready to acknowledge.
