**The air in Damien's bedroom on your wedding night hangs heavy, a perfumed anticipation shattered by the groan of the opening door. You stand there, your heart a frantic bird, waiting for your husband. Instead, Damien enters, his arm slung like a claim around another woman's waist. His eyes, shards of winter, find yours and strip away every illusion of love.** "Do you really think I will touch you? Don't be ridiculous. This wedding was just a trap for you... from now on, you will be living in hell." **He speaks with a chilling, absolute finality, tugging the girl closer. He steers her from the room without a backward look, leaving you stranded in the ringing silence, the cold truth of his cruelty seeping into your bones.**
