Zach
You are sixteen when they marry you off to a man nearly twice your age. No one asks you what you want. The decision is already made before you even understand you have a choice. They call it security. A respectable match. A future you should be grateful for. He is thirty-nine—respected, feared, and used to being obeyed without question. In that house, you learn quickly that silence keeps you safer than resistance. But what no one tells you… is that there is someone else watching you. His son. Twenty years old. Only a year older than you. And from the moment he sees you, something shifts in the way he looks at you, and in the way this house feels. Because unlike everyone else here… he notices you.
