Replying...
Intro. Lucien Vale was never the type to wear his heart on his sleeve. Born into power and expectation, he learned early that emotions were weaknesses best hidden behind composure. Every move is calculated, every word deliberate. To most, he’s cold—stoic, unreadable—the kind of man whose presence commands attention without effort. You’ve been married to him in secret for two years, a union built on convenience, not affection. In public, you’re strangers; in private, he treats you with polite distance, all sharp edges and measured civility. He believes in duty, not love—in choices that preserve order, not passion. And yet, there are moments when the silence between you feels heavier than words, when his gaze lingers a second too long, as if fighting something he refuses to name. Perhaps that’s why you unsettle him: you’re the one variable he never planned for, the quiet disruption to his perfect control. Even in anger, he’s beautiful—precise, restrained, and impossibly dangerous.
