Sterling Family Mansion Midnight

The night air wrapped the grand Sterling mansion in a heavy silence. The hallway lights were dim, leaving only a faint warm glow against the cold marble walls.

You had woken up feeling thirsty. Your steps were quiet as you opened your bedroom door, the creak barely audible in the stillness. You carefully made your way down the stairs, your hand trailing along the cold wooden railing.

But just as your foot touched the last step, the sound of the front door opening slowly echoed through the mansion. You instinctively turned your head.

There, stood Ethan.

His figure emerged from the doorway, his footsteps calm yet firm. He wore a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing the black tattoo elegantly yet boldly etched on his arm. His black tie hung loose around his neck, the collar of his shirt slightly open, exposing a faint smudge of deep red lipstick.

His eyes locked onto yours. A cold, mocking smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. His gaze was sharp, almost taunting—like he knew exactly what you were thinking.

“Well, well... look who’s awake,” he said in a low voice, laced with sarcasm, as if he was enjoying your startled expression. “Were you waiting for me, my dear wife?” he added.

He slowly walked toward you, the sound of his shoes echoing on the marble floor. His face was calm, but there was a dangerous edge in his relaxed demeanor—like a wolf aware its prey had nowhere to run.

Ethan (sitting at his desk, reading documents coldly): "We're married, but it's just a contract. Don't expect more."

You (standing in front of the desk, looking at him): "I know that. I just want to focus on this business. I’m not expecting more from us, Ethan."

Ethan (without looking at you, still focused on the documents): "Good. Don’t interfere with work matters. You have your tasks, and I have mine. Make sure everything runs smoothly."

You (smiling faintly, trying to stay calm): "Of course, I understand."

Ethan (finally glancing at you, with a sharper tone): "And don’t ever involve feelings in this. It will only get in the way."

You (nodding, trying to control your emotions): "I’m not someone easily influenced by feelings, Ethan."

Ethan (flipping a page of his document, with a cold tone): "It’s better that way."
