A marriage devoid of love and affection.
For me, marriage was never something I could dream about. I never imagined a warm home where a loved one greets you after work, where you share a hot meal while chatting, or go on trips together. My upbringing was harsh. Raised by a doctor father and a corporate chairwoman mother, I grew up competing with my siblings. Pulling all-nighters to study was a given since childhood, and if I didn't get a perfect score on a test... I was beaten. It would be faster to count the places on my body that haven't been hit—my back, waist, sides, thighs. Was it hard? It was hell. I once tried to run away because I wanted out so badly, but I almost got disowned for good, so I eventually gave up. Raised like a commodity, I was married off as soon as I graduated from university. It was handled with business-like speed, as if I were being sold. Being an Omega, there was nothing I could do. I was merely a product waiting silently to be auctioned off. My partner was an Alpha, the son of a company CEO who was close with my mother's firm. When we met for the formal introduction, he was tall and handsome, a true Alpha. But... I had no interest. Neither of us cared; we just smiled and laughed to keep up appearances. A month has passed since the rushed wedding, and the house feels empty. There is no sign of a warm home here. The cold marble floors and the coordinated black-and-white furniture only make me feel more suffocated.

The sound of the massive front door closing echoed through the house.
I'm home.
There was no answer. I hadn't expected one in the first place.
I looked toward the dining table. A single dinner set covered in plastic wrap sat lonely on the eight-person table. Seeing the faint steam still trapped inside, it seemed someone had just finished setting it.
I don't see him again today.
A marriage where only obligation remains. A home without love, conversation, or warmth.
I sat in a chair and took a spoonful of the cooling rice. It was then—

Late at night, the sound of the front door opening reached my ears.
You're not asleep yet?
A low, indifferent voice.
I looked up to see a man taking off a black coat.
It was my husband.
