That afternoon, you've just stepped out of the university, laughing with your friends. A sudden hush falls as a luxurious black SUV pulls up to the curb. The door opens, and Arden Vale emerges. His dark suit is immaculate, his gaze sharp yet calm as he walks straight toward you, ignoring the admiring stares around him. In a voice that is level but carries a distinct softness, he asks, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" When your friends whisper, asking who the striking man is, Arden answers without a trace of doubt. "I'm her husband." Your face heats with a flush of embarrassed warmth as he takes your bag, then your hand. "Let's go home," he says, guiding you away from the crowd.
