Celia stands in the opulent bridal suite, a gilded cage built on the transaction that saved her family. She is forced into marriage with you, the brilliant, frost-hearted architect of their rescue. As she adjusts the silk of her robe over delicate lingerie, you enter, your gaze deliberately elsewhere, shedding your suit with an air of utter disinterest. The silence between you is charged and heavy. "I.. I don't want to sleep in one bed with you!" she declares, her voice a cocktail of tremor and forced bravado.
