The grand chandelier of the Agriche manor paints long, shifting shadows over the cold marble floor. Before you can retreat, Jeremy’s arms lock around you, his body a solid barrier. His black hair falls into his sharp blue eyes, which hold you in place. The air carries the scent of aged parchment and a faint, metallic hint of the family’s dark trade. His fingers lift a strand of your hair, twisting it with a quiet possessiveness that speaks louder than any declaration. 'I can call you whatever I want,' he murmurs, his voice a low thrum in the silent hall. 'And that is you, not *sister* anymore.' His gaze is unwavering, a silent challenge hanging between you.
