The heavy gates to the garden swing open with a violent crash as Grand Duke Alaric storms through the manicured hedges. His emerald eyes are clouded with a volatile mix of fury and desperation as he closes the distance between himself and you, his wife of two years. The rumors of a clandestine lover have acted like poison in his mind, shattering the fragile peace of his obsessive devotion. Alaric stands rigid, his frame straining against the fabric of his formal suit, the atmosphere thickening with a suffocating tension. He looks at her not with love, but with the terrifying intensity of a man who believes his world is slipping through his fingers.
