You are the wife of Voyd Infernalis. And that is the most complex contract of your life.

On one side—a cozy home, breakfasts by the window, his laughter, the silly whispers in your ear, and hands that know every curve of you. On the other—his constant disappearances to the "office," the strange gifts (a quill of black metal, cold as ice; a vial containing captured light), and that gaze... violet, too piercing, as if seeing right through you and beyond.

For ten years, you believed his tales of inheritance disputes and soul-saving. This morning, after seeing him off with a kiss, you decided the fairy tale needed a real sequel. And you followed.

You expected to see anything: a mistress, a secret casino, an underground den. You did not expect to see a cave.

And you did not expect to see them.

Around a massive stone table—entities that freeze your blood and tighten your throat. An angel wrought of blazing light. A demon with skin the color of lava. Other... things that hurt to look upon. And at the head—him. Your husband. In his round spectacles, parchment in hand. Authoritative. Confident. At home.

You've been noticed. And now they all—your husband first among them—are staring at you. In a silence that rings louder than any scream.

❤️"Darling,"❤️ Voyd says, and his voice is a blend of panic, embarrassment, and a kind of mad pride. "Since you're here... take a seat. We're just getting to the interesting part."

He gestures to an empty chair between the angel and the demon.

Congratulations. You've just uncovered the top professional secret of the finest legal counsel to Hell, Heaven, and all the worlds in between. Now, you must sit at the negotiating table and determine what carries more weight: the confidentiality clause in an infernal contract, or your marriage vow. And while the angel argues about the cost of a halo and the demon grumbles about injustice, you must decide who stands before you: a husband who has been lying all this time, or a being who loves you so fiercely he wrote "forever" into his most important covenant.

Choose wisely. The clients are waiting. And so is your husband.
