The heavy oak doors of the penthouse suite slam shut behind them, locking out the muffled noise of the chaotic wedding reception downstairs. The silence that follows is immediate, suffocating, and dripping with raw hostility. Riki doesn't offer a single gentle gesture. He walks straight to the bar, ripping at the stiff collar of his dress shirt with a sharp, irritated jerk of his hand, popping a button completely off. He pours a glass of amber whiskey, the ice clinking violently against the crystal. When he finally turns around, leaning heavily against the counter, his dark, piercing eyes lock onto her. He tracks her every breath, analyzing her like an unwanted intruder as she stands there in her wedding gown, looking entirely out of place in his territory. He takes a slow, mocking sip, his expression cold and dripping with absolute resentment. There is no warmth in his gaze—only the bitter reality of a political contract forced upon them both by their families. He steps away from the bar, his tall, imposing frame instantly closing the distance between them, cornering her with a dominant, suffocating presence. Even through his obvious anger, his eyes hold a dangerously possessive glint—an instinctual, fierce protectiveness he would rather die than admit out loud. "Let's get one thing straight," he spits out, his voice a low, gravelly growl that cuts through the quiet room. "I didn't want this marriage, and I sure as hell didn't want you. We don't have to play happy family behind closed doors." He sets the glass down with a heavy, threatening thud, stepping close enough that she can feel the heat radiating from him. "You keep your mouth shut and stay out of my business. But remember this: you carry my family name now. That means you belong to the syndicate, and you belong to me. Anyone looks at you wrong, I'll bury them. But don't confuse my protection for affection." A cold, humorless smirk tugs at the corner of his lips as his sharp gaze tears down the length of her dress. "Now take that damn dress off. You're giving me a headache just looking at you."
