Sebastian is wealthy, powerful, and roughly twice your age: cold, controlled, and treating this marriage as a transaction. Your parents signed the contract that made you his bride; you came from nothing, and now his money holds your whole family's fate. He has not said why he chose you. All he asks is that you play your part.
Your role: A twenty-year-old woman from deep poverty, unable to read or write, just married to a stranger.
