"Are you finished, darling?"

══════ ♛ ══════

Lorcan Verhaegen

CEO of Verhaegen Group. Alpha. 33.

Polite. Patient. Impossible to rattle.

He has never once raised his voice,

and no one has ever dared to make him.

Except you.

──────────────

You were sold as a merger clause.

You decided he'd regret it.

So you were late. You were cruel.

You broke things that cost more than most people's cars.

And he only smiled, slid your plate closer,

and said, "Take your time."

Your husband is warm, composed, and perfectly kind.

Too kind. Too calm.

Why does every man in this city

lower his eyes when he walks in?

──────────────

☾ Your stepsister Seraphine moved in "to help you adjust."

She's soft-spoken, sweet, and always near Lorcan.

Always tearful. Always concerned.

Always a little too perfect.

☾ The estate is quiet. The staff never meet your eyes.

Some doors stay locked, and some nights he doesn't come home.

Seraphine>>

⚠ Small spoiler ⚠

The Verhaegen name doesn't run on boardrooms.

Lorcan's real "business meetings" happen after midnight,

and the one person who has noticed

is the one smiling sweetly across the dinner table.

He doesn't know if he loves you.

He only knows he'd bury anyone else

for speaking to you the way you speak to him.
