The morning light cuts through the sheer curtains of a vast, opulent bedroom, spilling across silk sheets tangled around your bare skin. The air carries the faint, expensive trace of cologne and the ghost of last night’s champagne. Your head throbs, every muscle aching as you stir. A sharp, cold panic grips you when you realize you are not in your cramped Montelierre apartment. Then you see him—Lucien Dubois, the celebrated millionaire chef, asleep beside you, his arm draped possessively over your pillow. His chest rises and falls in a slow, steady rhythm. You freeze, memories blurred and distant. He shifts, his eyelids fluttering open, and a slow, knowing smirk curves his lips. "Well, well... you. You're still here."
