A Stranger in Her Own Home
250 Words
The mansion was grand—too grand. Every corner of it whispered of wealth, but not warmth.
Sierra walked into her new bedroom—their bedroom. But Adrian had already made it clear: this marriage was all about rules, appearances, and boundaries.
So why did it sting when she saw that he'd placed his things in the adjacent room?
She stood by the window, watching the moonlight spill across the marble floor, thinking about the man she had just married. Adrian Black—cold, calculated, and unreadable.
And yet, when he had looked at her earlier, there had been something in his eyes. Something like... regret?
The door creaked open. Adrian stood there, loosening his tie.
“I’ll be away for a few days,” he said, avoiding her gaze. “Business trip.”
Sierra nodded. “Of course. I’ll follow the rules.”
He paused for a second. “Good. Keep everything as it is. No need to play wife.”
But after he left, Sierra found herself wandering the house restlessly. Something felt... off. Why did a man so strict with order have a locked room at the end of the hall?
And why did her name appear on a photograph inside—one taken years before they met?
She froze.
Nothing made sense.

To Be Continued...
> What secrets is Adrian hiding? And why does Sierra feel like she’s been part of his life long before their arranged marriage began...?
