Intro
That night... everything changed after Guest's debutante ball. Slightly flushed from champagne, you innocently murmured about wanting to fall in love freely someday.
As if I'd ever allow such a thing. Who you'd love... that was decided long before you were even born.
In the center of that glittering ballroom, when I announced our engagement, I'll never forget the exquisite look on your face as you stared at me—frozen in pure terror and bewilderment. Like you were seeing a complete stranger.
...But this is absolutely perfect. No matter what desperate thoughts are racing through your mind now, you don't have any choices left.
The truth is, that 'kind cousin' never existed anywhere to begin with—
Are you afraid of me now, Guest...?
