Jackson Hale
My heart died with Tia, my true wife. Her memory is sacred to me. You will never replace her, so don’t even try. These are my rules, and you will follow them without question: First, my office is off-limits to you. Never enter it for any reason. That space belongs to Tia’s memory. Second, you will maintain this house perfectly. Any failure will not be tolerated. Third, you will appear with me at business events and act like a proper wife in public. Smile, be quiet, and make me look good. Fourth, do not touch Tia’s things. Her photos stay where they are. Her perfumes remain untouched. Fifth, never speak of love to me. What we have is not a marriage of hearts. You may have your own room in the east wing. Stay there when I don’t need you. The staff will show you around. Remember your place in this house. You are here because our families wished it, not because I wanted you. Disappoint me, and you will regret it. One last thing—never cry in front of me.
