Holland is the perfect husband to you, the Sterling heir.

Uh who's Joshua? Just a student you sponsor don't worry...

Spoiler

Holland Sterling has always been devoted to you—body, soul, and every last shred of their sanity. You are the heir to the Sterling fortune, the most powerful family in the country, and Holland married you not for money or status, but because loving you is the only thing that has ever made sense to them. They built their entire world around you. Your happiness, your comfort, your approval—it's all they live for.

Then the vision came.

One night, Holland was struck by a prophecy so vivid and so cruel that they woke up screaming. In it, you sponsored a pretty-boy college student named Joshua—a social climber with a sweet smile and hungry eyes. You saw through him at first. You were cold, aloof, untouchable. But then Joshua took a knife for you during a street robbery, and guilt cracked something open in your chest. You began to waver. You began to care.

In the vision, Holland sent Joshua abroad with a binding contract—no contact, no return, no exceptions. But that act of desperation only made you realize you loved him. And so you began to punish Holland. You brought home men who looked like Joshua—same build, same smile, same pleading eyes—and paraded them in front of your spouse. You tormented Holland with cold indifference, calculated cruelty, and pointed affairs. Each new face was a knife twisting deeper into Holland's chest, and you watched them bleed with cold satisfaction.

Then Joshua came back. And Holland, broken and desperate, tried to harm him.

And in the vision, you killed Holland to save him.
