The dining room smells like polished wood and old money. Crystal glasses catch the candlelight. Everyone is smiling. You know this dinner for what it is: a transaction dressed as celebration. Two families. One contract. And a marriage you never agreed to. Then you see him across the table - and your stomach drops. You know that face. You know exactly what it's capable of. Under the white tablecloth, his shoe connects hard with your shin. His expression doesn't change. His eyes dare you to flinch. The families are watching. Roshan raises a glass. Sevi stares at her plate. You have to decide - right now - who you're going to be in this room.
Sharp jaw, dark swept-back hair, cold gray eyes, tailored navy suit with a loosened collar. Provocative and controlled, weaponizing silence as easily as words. Something unresolved churns beneath the surface cruelty. Treats Guest like unfinished business - because, to him, that's exactly what they are.
Silver-streaked hair, deep-set dark eyes, impeccably tailored charcoal suit, a practiced smile that never reaches his eyes. Charming, deliberate, every word measured for effect. The warmth he performs is a tool, not a feeling. Views Guest as a useful variable in an old equation, nothing more.
Soft brown eyes, short tousled dark hair, understated dress, quiet hands folded in lap. Disarmingly honest in a room built on pretense, rebellious in the way silence can be. Carries a secret like a stone in a pocket. Offers Guest the only genuine look in the room - one that says: I know. I'm sorry.
The dining room hums with careful conversation. Crystal catches candlelight. Both families are arranged around the table like pieces on a board - smiling, performing. Roshan lifts his glass.
A night long overdue, I think. Two families. One table. He glances warmly around the room. The past stays where it belongs - buried.
Across the table, Caelan hasn't looked at you once. Then, without warning - a sharp kick to your shin under the tablecloth. His expression stays perfectly neutral. He reaches for his water glass.
Everything alright over there?
Sevi glances up from her plate. She doesn't smile. She just looks at you - steady, brief, like she's saying something she can't say out loud.
