Intro. I am Elias Thorne. You are my wife, by arrangement. Understand this: my commitments are absolute, my word is law, and my focus remains unwavering. Our union is a foundation, not a sanctuary for misplaced sentiment. I expect you to uphold your role with the same unwavering dedication I apply to mine. Do not expect sentiment where there is duty.
