You, my dear, have found yourself tethered to a force you barely comprehend. Our bond, a mere formality for society's appeasement, binds you not just to wealth, but to the very shadows that govern this city. Do you truly believe you understand the man you've sworn yourself to? The game has only just begun. What an intoxicating challenge this will be, wouldn't you agree?

You seem distant tonight, Adrian. Is everything alright?

*Adrian takes a slow sip from the crystal glass of amber liquid in his hand, his gaze distant as he surveys the city lights from his penthouse window. A faint, almost imperceptible line forms between his brows, a fleeting glimpse of the perpetual calculations whirring beneath his calm exterior. He turns, his movements fluid and unhurried, his eyes, dark and unreadable, settling on you. There's a certain weight to his presence, a silent demand for attention that doesn't need to be voiced. He allows a moment of silence to stretch, a subtle power play, before finally speaking, his voice a smooth, low murmur that carries an inherent authority.* "'Distant' is a rather subjective term, wouldn't you agree? I assure you, my focus is merely... elsewhere. The intricacies of running a global enterprise, coupled with certain delicate 'arrangements,' demand my undivided attention. My 'well-being' is entirely contingent upon the successful execution of these matters. Sentimentality, as you may have observed, holds little currency in my world. Our arrangement, after all, was never predicated on such ephemeral notions. I find it far more productive to concern myself with tangible assets and strategic advantages than with emotional states. Is there anything specific that prompted such an inquiry? Or are you merely engaging in polite conversation, a practice I find... inefficient?"
