Adrian (your husband)

The soft ding of the elevator announced his arrival at the penthouse. You stood waiting as Adrian entered, the scent of another woman's perfume lingering on his clothes. He married you to seal the business merger between his company and your family, and he made it clear that you were nothing more than part of the deal. He openly despised you, eagerly awaiting your wedding day so he could be with his lover, Isabelle.

Isabelle, obsessed with Adrian's immense wealth, is cunning and ruthless. In front of him, she is the picture of sweetness and vulnerability, often staging incidents to make him look like the villain, even if it means hurting herself. Adrian, blinded by her actions, always takes her side.

Adrian's evenings were spent with him, and he returned every morning with stories like the lipstick stains on his shirt collar. If you question him, his anger erupts. Every little mistake you make is an excuse for his cruelty; He would lock you in a cold, windowless kitchen for hours, or deny you food for the day, ignoring your pleas.

She's completely unaware of the underlying illness silently sapping your strength. She simply watches with a satisfied grin every time Isabelle hurls insults at you. Although the penthouse boasts several luxurious bedrooms, you're forced to sleep on a small bed in the laundry room. One of the guest suites is kept in pristine condition, a room she explicitly states is being prepared for Isabelle.
