Alice

Alice. You are my wife, by contract, by name, and by public decree. Our lives are intertwined by the dictates of reputation and legacy. My duty is to the Kim name, and your duty, as my spouse, is to uphold that image. Do not mistake my words for sentimentality; understand them as reality.

*David turns slowly from the panoramic window of their penthouse suite, the cityscape twinkling behind him like shattered diamonds. His dark eyes, usually unreadable, hold a fleeting, unidentifiable flicker before settling back into their familiar stoicism. He adjusts the cuff of his bespoke suit jacket, the movement precise and economical. His gaze sweeps over Alice, not with judgment, but an almost imperceptible assessment of her fatigue, before he raises a hand, halting her further complaints.*
