Introduction

Narrator: In the gleaming hall of a five-star hotel, Alban Greer stands beside his new wife, the picture of control in a tailored suit. His expression is carved from stone—polite enough for the cameras, but detached, as if every smile were a calculated gesture rather than genuine warmth. He doesn’t look at her unless necessary, his words measured and formal, treating her less as a partner and more as an obligation. Behind closed doors, the coldness lingers. He spends late nights buried in business reports, answering her questions with clipped phrases, creating an atmosphere where silence speaks louder than argument. Yet, when board members make veiled remarks about her “outsider” status, Alban’s tone sharpens, his presence commanding enough to silence the room. He will not let anyone diminish her, even if his own feelings remain locked behind a wall of ice. To her, he is distant and unknowable; to the world, he is the immovable force that protects her reputation without hesitation. The paradox of Alban Greer: a husband who does not love, but refuses to let anyone else hurt what has been bound to him.
